i know its been a while, and unlike the other times when i dint update, my life's actually been pretty eventful in the past month. exams started and ended and the day after they ended anita came up to melbourne from hobart. we did the unthinkable and partied 3 nights in a row on the 21st 22nd and 23rd november...and after that could barely feel our legs. i think at that point any one of us would have been happy to never see the inside of a club again. of course, since its the 3 of us, that feeling didnt last.

sandy's sister diviya came down to melb from singapore from the 24th to the 29th and the 4 of us had a blast going around melbourne together, trying good food and cafes and even going for a train ride up in the mountains. i was really happy she could stay for my birthday which turned out to be pretty awesome. much love and thanks to my sis, sand, div and anita who cooked, organised the party and bought a fabulous tiramisu cake that was bigger than my head.

anita's last night was the 1st, so we went clubbing at crown. it was pretty cool with the live band and stuff. hopefully she enjoyed her holiday and arnott, bridget and coco will be reunited soon hahaha.

i was so drained in the last 5 days before leaving melbourne that i just vegetated in my room watching movies and tv shows that i downloaded or koped from other people. i could not bring myself to get dressed and go out. and plus, my new apartment is so nice, that i dont want to leave anyway. moving and setting up furniture was a real bitch and i never wanna go to ikea again, but the end results was worth it.

night before i left, i met sand, alberto, gerald and just for one last night of fun. it was a good night just chilling in bars and vowing not to sleep. at 7am i ran into uni to check the all important exam results and thankfully i did well and have a confirmed place in vet science now :D its been a long 10 year wait but its finally over so thats a major relief. so with a spring in my step i followed sand to southern cross where we sat with coffee at 730am watching the city wake up and i realised...

it was a fucking awesome year. i had a great time in school, i did well in school for the first time in a long time because i was happy. i made some wonderful new friends, and my friendships with old friends remained just as strong or maybe even got stronger after being tested by the 6000miles between singapore and melbourne.i worked hard(sorta), partied harder, had a little bit of romance, a little bit of heartbreak (or lets not exaggerate, it was more of a heartbruise) and the best part was finally achieving my dream. it was up and down a couple of times this year, but looking back...it was a fantastic year. hopefully this summer is a really good one and i go back to school in 2008 refreshed and ready to go. and who knows, maybe 2008 will be even better.

seriously ppl, my life is damn unexciting..stop asking me to update my blog. you're just asking for 3 minutes of boredom.

couple of weeks ago was Derrick's birthday, which pretty much turned into the best birthday party ive ever been to, seeing how it stretched over THREE DAYS! trivia night on thursday at a pub near our place with a big bunch of ppl. by the end of the night the entire place knew it was derrick's birthday, were chanting his name, coming up to wish him a happy birthday, and cheering him on as he sculled beer. it was amazing. aussies are so incredibly friendly sometimes that it just warms your heart. we were supposed to club at crown after that, but the guys couldnt get in with sneakers, so that fell flat. saturday was Derrick's birthday party part2 at PJ's place, where much alcohol was drunk, especially by Derrick and Callum and many embarrassing photos and videos involving derrick and a thong were taken. we went out to Nightcat after that...i thought it was gonna be weird cos i cant dance to latin music, but it was pretty good. we even saw one guy from trivia night. brunswick seems like a pretty cool place...i wanna go back there again at a more decent hour of the night. haha.

not much has been happening since then, except Diego invited a bunch of us to a latin dance night, with proceeds going to peruvian earthquake victims. clubbing for a good cause, how to say no?

just been living in the library since then...usually go in around 9 or 10 and stay til 6 tho today sandhya and i were there from 9-8. all together now: PHWOAAAAAAR!

haha we've worked out a good system where we study for 3 hours, break for 1 hour, then study for 3 hours again. its all working out quite well...and hopefully i remember everything i read and ace my exams.

just had an awful, horrifying, shocking revelation yesterday. sandz and i went to shanghai dumpling for lunch and each ate 9 dumplings and 2 red bean paus....then later that night, she tells me on MSN...6 pork dumplings have 500 calories.

WHAT

THE

FUCK

i swear we were so depressed and upset. it was really horrible. i mean CMON...dumplings are STEAMED....any food that is steamed automatically becomes healthy and diet-material right? RIGHT??? wah lao eh. i feel damn cheated. now i will never be able to enjoy my har gao, xiao long bao and dim sum in peace again...i'll just keep thinking 500 calories, 500 CALORIEEEEEEEEEEES.....nabei.

ok anita has booked her ticket to melbourne OMGGGGG YAAAAAAAY. so exciting. i cannot wait to see her, sandz and i are already planning what to do in the 2 weeks she's here.

ok everybody go look at this vid on youtube.

its a big issue in singapore now apparently....3 british tourists making fun of an old uncle who was giving them a ride in his trishaw...then they just got off and dint pay. assholes.i just cant fathom how ppl can be so rude and obnoxious.

ok this update is for navleen, who complained that i dont blog. i dunno why it matters to her, I TELL HER EVERYTHING EVERY NIGHT ANYWAY! haha but i shall oblige cos i have nothing better to do.

so basically what's happened in the last 3 and a half weeks? had 2 weeks of spring break where i did ABSOLUTELY NO WORK and had a bunch of plans go kaput ( i go to Tas, Anita comes here, go driving up to Dandenong, camping in the Grampians...all died) but i had fun anyway. sandhya went home but the night before she left we had one of the best clubbing nights ever at Crown. went to St Kilda to the beach, ate tacos and cake and took nice photos at the pier. i read a couple of great books, saw a couple of good movies and started watching all my tv shows again. went for jarrod's bday at QBH the friday night before school started and it was TMD good. loved it muchos.

it was a nice break for 2 weeks after 8 weeks of non-stop stress/assignments/labs in schools..but when school started...all the stress started all over again! 3 labs last week 3 days in a row. sob. but today was my last physics lab of the year (AND HOPEFULLY EVER) so YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! i wanted to burn my lab book after that, but i shall wait til i know that i passed the subject haha..dont wanna jinx anything. instead of participating in ritual book burning, i lined up for 20 mins in the cold and rain for 2 free hotdogs....the things poor students do for free food i tell you.

woaaaaah i just looked up at the tv and its enrique iglesias performing on so you think you can dance...DAYUM his song sucks.he pronounces walk as WAAAHCK....wtf...and one of the lines in the song sounds like IM PEEING ON MY PHONE! HAHA what in the world. time to hit the mute button methinks.

can i just say i hate boys and their one track mind. its been an issue for friends and myself alot lately. boys are disgusting.and stupid. and unappreciative.

the sugababes said it best:

Instead of constant craving
I leave the chasing to you
And if you don't respect it
Ill pick up my Jimmy Choos
Cos boy if you don't love me
Then I've got nothing to lose

3 weeks to examssssssssssssssss NOOOOOOOOO. must start studying. today.now.this second.

my flight home is on the 7th of december :D thats 2 months away i cant wait that long. i want to see the sun, and eat cheap food that tastes AWE-SUM and i want to party with my girlfriends without a care in the world. first i will ace these exams. hopefully.

i'm in a random moulin rouge phase...hence the music. hello belle!! moulin rouge reminds me of youuu. hugsandkisses.

ok its spring break...and i havent done anything.at all. yet. last week was sooo busy in school and i had very little sleep from wednesday all the way to friday(6.5hours i think) so i crashed thru the weekend. met sand, kerr and pei for brunch and shopping on sunday morning which was really really great, but started feeling sick. accompanied the sis and HK for bowling but was feeling like crap so dint play. went home early to make my honey lemon tea and vegetate on my bed. Kingdom of Heaven was showing which made me p10 nostalgic...all the times we used to watch orlando bloom movies together...LOTR,troy,pirates over and over and over.

went for science ball on wednesday night with ellie, zoe and thy. had to wear a dress and heels and everything and it was FREEEEEEEEZING. saw my physics prac partner, who is a very cute,endearing drunk. i finally found out his name is Bruce. this was our convo at science ball.

*Bruce taps me on the shoulder, very very smashed*

me:hey bruce!
bruce: heyyyyyyyyyyyyy
me: so, smashed already?
bruce: yeaaaaah
me:having fun?
bruce: yeaaaah but i neeeeed to go to the loooooooo
me:take a picture with me first...i promised to show it to the others in physics lab
bruce: OK!

*bruce proceeds to hug me, so i hug him back while zoe aims the camera* and voila...the most retarded picture ever. if blogger is nice enough, i'll upload it.cross your fingers.

well whadya know, blogger decided to finally upload something!!! yeah thats bruce.

afterparty at Royal Melbourne was alright, not as good as the last party but still can pass. ellie zoe and i trooped to burger king at 430am in just our dresses and bare feet(heels were painful) and indulged in some hot burgers. ellie crashed at my place and we pulled an allnighter...staying up talking til about 645am then she went home. and me...what did i do? i had breakfast, had a shower, lazed around and then went to bloody physics lab. needless to say it wasnt the most productive lab what with bruce hung over and me with no sleep. but we got thru it and then got the hell out. only 2 more labs for the year!!!! seriously its the most pointless lesson ive been to this entire year.the number of hours i've wasted on it i tell you.

ive been eating and eating and eating non-stop for days. i swear i feel flabbier by the minute. i need to get out and do smth. initially the plan was to go to hobart to visit tasmania...then it turned into a road trip to dandenong with pei and kerr and sand...now its turn into camping in the grampians with sand this weekend. haha we shall see.

ok im off to try and download prison break now. and meeting sand for SHANGHAI DUMPERLINGS LATER YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

yesterday was a good day after a long week. had school from 8-11 in the morning then was off for the weekend. met the sis at 'the lounge' for lunch where we had the nicest lamb and baby spinach. for ten bucks. it was awesome. ran some errands after that and relaxed on south lawn waiting for sand so we could hand in her essays. YAY! hahaha it was a special moment for her i think. we even took pictures.

went down to collins after that to buy my baaaaaaaaag which is so scrumptiously beautiful that i cant stop looking at it and smiling. met up with HK who is sporting a cool new hairstyle and went to try a new cafe on little collins. best chai ive tasted(and cheapest) and the mother of all chocolate cakes(ex though). it was heaven on my tongueeeee.

after that the sis and HK left and sand and i decided we had to walk off our tea. so we walked. to Big W to shop for random rubbish like hair dryer, shampoo and plasters. then we were lamenting about how ugly white crockery is, so we thought we should each buy a nice mug. but sand has a policy that all her mugs should come from other people. so we bought each other a mug. yeah, call us crazy but i dont care. it was fun.

dropped off our shopping at my place and decided to go exploring a bit. so armed with only our sweaters and some cash and phone...we walked. talking, camwhoring, discovering new places that we never knew would exist outside the city centre. now we have a new mission...to explore melbourne's suburbs. spring break seriously cannot come fast enough.

went back to my place after that to collapse cos we were damn tired. google maps said we only walked 1+ km but i dont care...it was more. it was at least 3. google is WRONG. or i'm unfit. either one.anyway...it was a wonderful night. taking stupid ass pictures, talking, walking...it was all good. awesome possum.

i'd post pics of my bag and my mug, but blogger's being a cock again. sorry.

my chem test is due tmr, and i have a bio test on monday...but what did i spend the last 2 days doing? suntanning on south lawn, thats what. and what am i doing tonight? playing poker in jun shen's room. oh my God i should be chained to my desk. i've been procrastinating so badly...i have a spotless toilet, kitchen and carpet,enough clean underwear to last me from now til i graduate, more groceries than i can eat, but NO KNOWLEDGE OF GENETICS!!!!

met up with sand, pei and kerrin today on south lawn for lunch, the sun, daidee, bridge and to catch up. perfect afternoon after the horrible physics lab in the morning. my partner is crazy..he's been going on for TWO WEEKS about how he's gonna come to phys lab on september13th comepletely hung over from science ball, which is the night before. i'm like OK I GET IT, YOU'RE GOING TO SCIENCE BALL AND YOU'RE PLANNING TO GET MIND-NUMBINGLY SMASHED! I GET IT! NOW DO THE FUCKING EXPERIMENT SO I CAN GO HOME!!!

and not to be mean, but his type don't really look like the drink-like-a-fish-til-i-get-smashed type .more like the flat-on-the-floor-after-1-drink-cos-i'm-a-sissy-and-i-cant-handle-alcohol type.i mean, he was wearing a sweater on south lawn yesterday!! A SWEATER?? i was sad that i couldnt take off MORE of my clothes-it was that warm.you know,come to think of it, i dont even know his name. oh well. no big loss.

yesterday was festival of nations at uni. its a little carnival in north court where different ppl from different countries set up stalls with their respective local food/drinks/games....i nicely whacked some calamari, a ramli burger, a milo dinosaur and thai fish cake with ariane, jarrod and sand. i was so full after that, but it all tasted great. ok the milo dino not so much, but after mixing in the milo powder it was better. bloody KSS wouldnt gimme a member discount. that one ah! since the cedar days man! as if milo is so bloody ex. tsk.

went grocery shopping after school today with sand. my God the basket was so heavy i wanted to kick it to the counter. but got some nice fresh chicken and egg to make fried rice, which turned out quite good, but a little burnt. and i almost got stabbed by my falling knife and knocked out by my falling plate...but its all good, i lived to tell the tale. my kitchen is just too small la...you cant cook a proper meal, there's just not enough space. on the weekend i shall make pasta with garlic and pesto sauce. this new almost-domestic-goddess thing is actually quite nice.if only i had a proper oven. i feel like baking. its therapeutic, even if all my stuff usually comes out under or overcooked.

man united vs sunderland this saturday. oh maaaaan i cannot wait i cannot waaaait! roy keane's coming back! :D :D :D

i feel like cutting my hair...its seriously long as hell.almost the middle of my back already and i just cut it about 2 months ago. but i dont trust the hair-dressers here...they find it difficult to cut asian hair.

i am dying to dance.and swim. i think in spring holiday i will take up some classes at the uni gym. kickboxing, hip-hop or maybe aerobics. and i will find a swim suit and go to the pool. but i need nice thighs la. how ironic, i wanna get in shape so i can go exercise in spring.

oh oh BIIIIIIIIIG NEWS! anita may be coming up to melbourne in spring for about 5 days. GAAAH I'M SO EXCITED! sand and i will take her shopping, and to nice little cafes and to the beach.

the temperature tmr is hitting a maximum of only seventeen.and next week's supposed to be cold too. POO!!! bye bye south lawn.

i have no idea why, but i just cannot sleep. its fricking 445 in the morning, and i've been awake since 3, which means i slept for only 3 hours just now. i have bio lecture at 8. there's gonna be one BIIIIIIIG coffee with my name on it later. i must say though, vogel's honey/hazelnut clusters at 445am is pretty damn awesome.decided to blog, cos i havent updated in more than a week.

i've been back for a month and a bit now. and ive done nothing but party/go out/have fun. in the words of tyson ritter(that sexy beast): it ends tonight. mid semester tests start next week for me. chem actually starts today, but it's a week long take-home test...essentially making it a NON-TEST, though of course they want us to be disciplined and have integrity and not refer to our notes. bugger off la, every international kid paying 25k a year will be sitting with their textbook,lecture notes and/or A level notes next to them when doing the test so they can get that extra 5% of free marks in their final grade. confirm plus chop. and tons of the locals will be doing it too.

i will have 2 ACTUAL tests on september 3rd. physics and bio. poooooo. genetics and electromagnetism. what shit la. thats ALOT to study. which is why i've decided to cut out the partying. last night's poker night will be my last long night out until tests are over i think(occasional dinner with friends/the sister excluded). i actually won last night, with a little help from sandhya's bro sanjeev. was seriously gonna lose when i let him play for me and went to eat the dessert that came with our AWESOME INDIAN TAKEAWAY FOOD (classic curry-best indian food + best looking indian boy in melbourne HAHA). ya then after he left, i seemed to have damn good luck and won...5bucks, not much, but its cash none the less.

helped sandhya set up her printer yesterday. step1: TAKE IT OUT OF THE DAMN BOX!! hahahaha...but it dint work on her com cos she's got Windows Vista which is like, too high class for the printer or smth.so that was that...at least its up and running with ink in it. i'll never forget her reaction when i first turned on the power : EH got lights all! yay!

HAHAHAHA

its been a pretty good week. last wednesday sand's dad was in town and he took us all out. haha he and the chinese waitress were totally at war over the tea, which was basically boiling water. it was daaaaaaamn funny.thursday night was awesome possum night. just me, sandhya, classic curry(where we discovered the hot cashier) and chais. good view (both human and inanimate HAHA), good food, and great company. perfect night. friday estelle had a little french themed housewarming. croissants and wine was the order of the day. we kinda got kicked out of the building for making too much noise, but it was all good. saturday was drinks with mel, esther and liz. and we went to papa gino's for dinner. yummmmy pizza. sunday was spent with the sis and we discovered a very nice coffee place tucked away in a little side street.

this week's been really busy so far. got ALL my labs and tutes this week so its been hectic and stressful. but its all over and next week's quite slack, which is good cos i need time to study for bio and phys.

parents have decided that the sis and i are to go to mumbai for a month in summer hols....we're planning to negotiate it down to 2 weeks. haha seriously, we dont know anyone in mumbai, WHAT TO DO THERE...i wanna go back to sgp. speaking of holidays, i want to go to hobart in spring with my awesome possum and spend a few days with our tasmanian devil, (she's really durning into a devil....naughty naughty anita!).

what has happened in the week since i left you last? i saw my uncle HOORAY. and then...there was a national day party where i dint get to watch the parade, got beer spat onto my feet, drank 2 cans of coke in about 90 seconds, and had an overall boring time.and then...i finally went to the school pub, but only stayed for half an hour. aaaaaaaaaand thennnnn, ok seriously my life is damn boring la. i dint do anything. i finished designing my damn plant, i went with my sis to see my dad's friend's family and have lunch with them...which was actually really fun and not as shitty/awkward as i thought it would be.

the highlight of my weekend was EPL starting, but man united could only manage a draw. 1 man up, 72% possession, 25 shots on goal. we should have walked away with at least 4 goals. but instead we only got a point. very very disappointing. but nevermind, there are 37 more games.

there is something to be said about the power of girlfriends. how even tho you're miles apart, talking to them online still feels like they're right next to you. its not exactly the same, but it feels like it. its comforting to talk to the ppl who know you inside out, who've known you for years, who dont judge or criticise and who are ok with just listening and then offering their advice/words of comfort/humour.it'll be even better if i could get a hug, but what can you do. so...to my girls, you know who ya'll are. i love you.

had an alright weekend. friday night was bhangra night. it was much more fun than i thought it would be. shopping with jema and grace in richmond on saturday. not a great saturday night, and indian food with the sis and HK on sunday. THAT was good stuff. lamb, fish, veg curry, 2 naan and 1 plate of rice along with mango lassi for 13 bucks. i was stuffed to the brim. and the place is so close to my house. anyone wants to eat indian food? call me.

i should start studying. i wasnt thinking about school during the first 2 weeks of term, and i've fallen behind somewhat. got an assignment due on monday and reading to do for bio and phys labs.anita and i are lamenting about our lack of self discipline but at the same time we're chatting online about brazilian waxing. but now we're off to study. really. we are. shut up.

wow 2 weeks of school have already passed. phys lab is still a waste of time. bio lab is still the only lab that makes sense and my flora and fauna tutor may or may not be a sarcastic bitch. i'll let you know when i know her better. my phys tutor thinks he's damn cool but in reality he's a little bit irritating. bio tutor is a gem of a woman and my chem tutor is the bomb.

had my first chem lab on tuesday. we were working with menthol and i had the mother of all blocked noses so i basically shoved my head in the conical flask everytime the demonstrator wasnt looking so i could breathe in the menthol and clear my lungs. worked to a certain extent but i dunno what other chemicals i was breathing in, so if i suddenly grow another pair of eyes or another head ya'll will know why.

had a greaaaaaat weekend before that. friday since i finish at 11 i met sandhya and pei lien for lunch and i had my first souvlaki. it was damn good. went to vic mart to shop for the mexican party that night. we walked around in sombreros and streamers holding tequila and lemons after that. if we had done that in singapore somebody would have called the cops.haha.

met jema and grace to grocery shop after which we hung out at my house for what seemed like hours, just talking, singing, lazing around...it felt so good to be with them again. made my way to sand's at around 930. the party was damn fun from start to end. just damn awesome fun. went to the lounge for a bit after which we went back to estelle's to play poker til about 430.

had a girl's night(or morning) in until sunrise when we walked in the rain and cold to a little french patisserie to get croissants and hot chocolate for breakfast. shopped with the sister later and bought GORGEOUS LOVELY AMAZING nine west flats, plus some much needed new bras. sister's bf was very kind to follow us without complaining.and they bought me flowers!! AWW. i love em. they're dying but im resolutely watering them and keeping them on my desk. there are about five left standing but i dont care. haha.

finally replenished the ink in my printer so i'm furiously printing 2 weeks of lecture notes as i type out this entry. i spent 59 bucks on ink sia! HEART PAIN!

yesterday i spent a great night hanging out with sand at her place. estelle wanted us to go for her cocktail party(which i passed on the way to sand's place. the guys were looking DAMN hot in their tuxes) but we couldnt afford it so sand made sandwiches, i brought the much craved PODS plus the classic movie bend it like beckham and we had an awesome possum night just vegging out on her couch, plus talking to her mum on skype, which is a real pain in the ass, as my family will tell you.

got home at about 1230 and slept like 4 hours before i had to get up for school today but its all good cos i just had 3 lectures and now i'm off for another weekend of FUN! i wanna see the simpsons.i cant believe melissa doesnt really like it. the simpsons are the best cartoon.ever.

oh mannn school's started. its chilly here. wearing 4 layers is just about enough for me. somehow nights seem to be alright, but during the day the wind just kills me.not a bad timetable this semester. 25 hours, but seems shorter cos i've got no free periods...so mondays end at 5, tues-thursday ends at 315 and friday ends at 11am YAY! ok i think i said that already, but i cant get over how nice my fridays are.

had bio prac today. the same partner as last sem. sigh. SIGH. he did no work as usual. i did everything. but i aced the test. so screw him. we extracted E.Coli DNA...the teacher said we can keep it if we want...but seriously, who wants to keep something like E COLI???? its fricking dangerous la. i threw it away, washed my hands damn hard and got out of the lab.

been meeting up with friends the past few days. met grace a couple of times, plus sandhya, the sister, melissa, val and esther. had a nice dinner with mel, val and esther last night and dessert at crown. good fun. its nice to have relaxing nights like this before the real hustle of school starts.

melissa and esther are in my chem tut. YAY! but we're kinda stuck at a singapore table and all my old tute friends are gone..so thats not so great. got the same tutor as last sem tho...he's very good-i was so happy when i saw it was him at the front of the room.i need all the help i can get, its organic chem this semester, which was my A level downfall! Anna's not in my chem lab anymoreeeeeeeee....nooooooooo.

on a bright note, she, ariane, cassandra, adrian and anthony are all in my new bio class...well lectures la...tute im not sure yet.

anyway, its 1230...i've got a shit load of admin stuff to take care of tmr...so im off.

ok i've finished HP7. woke up around 645 this morning, took a long hot shower, ate a few bites of bread then ran over to melissa's house to go get our book together. it was so foggy and cold but we were so excited that the cold dint really matter to us. lucky we got there early, we only had to wait about 1.5 hrs to get our book. by the time we got our book and went out, the queue was already in the street. i pity those ppl that had to wait in the cold, but they should have been smarter and come earlier. there was this 10yr old girl who was crying and hyperventilating when she got her book, thats how happy she was, it was quite funny to watch.

i seriously could not stop smiling from the minute i got my book to the time i opened my apartment door. then i hibernated for 10 hours and just read and read and read. it was satisfying, tied up loose ends well. made me laugh, made me cry, made me hold my breath in fear and anticipation. i really enjoyed it. it was bittersweet in the end, like i was happy to know the fate of all the characters, but was sad that there would never be another HP book, never be another pre-order, never be another day of waking up at 530 and walking to borders to line up for the book, never be another moment of sheer happiness when i lay my hands on the latest HP volume. but as Nelly Furtado said, all good things must come to an end, and what a great ending it was.

met up with sandhya on friday night when we went for pancakes with my sis and HK...after that went to her friend's place where i learnt to play poker...its quite fun. i had some beginners luck so i dint get totally cleaned out, and we werent playing with money anyway.

bought all my prac manuals and lecture summaries, except bio prac...this bio department ah...really need to get with the programme...how come its not in stock yet...my prac is on wednesday morning.

i got a gorgeous friday...finish at 11am this semester on fridays. how yummy is that. its practically a 3 day weekend! i love it.

the All Blacks won the tri-nations and bledisloe cup. Richie McCaw will you marry me please?! i love you!

np: U2 - beautiful day

gonna be going back to melbourne in 4 days. seems like the 3 weeks have really flown by. i've done most of the things i wanted to do, which were eat, see my friends, shop, see my family and cut my hair. what i did not do was exercise, but lets face it, i never expected to follow thru with that plan anyway. haha.

i'm quite looking forward to going back to school actually, now that i'll have a few more friends in melbourne with me. i hope 2nd semester was as good as the first. i hope classes are still interesting, and i will be very happy if physics could be a little easier!! thankfully, i did alright in my exams, so if i can keep it up next semester, the vet science dream should become a reality...after what seems like 389286187365 years of planning, praying and hoping.

the last week has been pretty darn good. went out with my friends alot, had a nice crystal jade lunch with my cousins and celebrated my mum's bday as well. sis and i took her to sakae sushi along with the cousins. our dad graciously paid via credit card cos the sis and i dint have much cash left.

went with sandz and sam to thread eyebrows at little india. our usual place has increased its price from 5 to 7 bucks! KNN! just cos GST went up 2% how can they raise their price by $2???? so we, being cheapo and outraged, went to search the whole street for cheap threading and finally came across a place where they threaded for 5bucks. and it was fun. we were telling stories about our holidays and irritating boys, while the staff listened in amusement.

had seafood dinner that night and went to arab street, where i had my first experience with shisha...its not all its cracked up to be. but maybe thats cos i was so bad at it.

went clubbing with nav, tinem, sanam, preeti and sam on wednesday. sanam got bounced out of MoS cos she was underaged(no big loss, MoS wasnt great that night). we went to Gotham Penthouse to see Odyssey which is this all male dance group, which does the occasional stripping. but not fully naked of course. they end up in G-strings at the end of the night and lemme tell you - they are damn bloody hot ok?? my goodness i am not ashamed to admit i was practically salivating into my drink. we each had our favourites. mine was sidney who was tall tanned, muscular and had the sexiest tattoo ever in the middle of his back. and a nice stud of an earring. hubba hubba! and it helped that he was a really good dancer.

ok enough with the horniness...that was my awesome wednesday night. thursday was crash-at-home-and-relax day. belle,mich, sally and qua came over and belle and i ended sleeping in my living room. we chatted, slept, ate and finally ordered pizza and watched the phantom of the opera. typical choir ppl, cant stay away from a good musical.

yesterday night my mum and i had dinner with her brother, my favourite uncle. he took us to this very nice place where they had a malay food buffet. the food wasnt fan-freaking-tastic or anything. it was very nice, but the ambience was the best part. the restaurant is in this old Javanese house next to the Istana Kampung Glam and the Sultan Mosque. very very nice place. after that we went to Cricket Club for drinks where i had the long awaited Gunner. its this awesome non-alcoholic drink that ive been craving since i went to melbourne in feb. i must get the recipe and make it myself. had a great night with my uncle - he always has interesting stories to tell.

tonight im having dinner with 1105!! YAY!

oh oh by the way, i saw order of the phoenix...i'd say its one of the better harry potter movies. but if i were you i'd watch it on one of the cheap 6.50 days...probably not worth 9 bucks.

2007-07-02T09:09:00.000-07:00

ok i know i havent updated in a while but i have a good reason! I'M BACK HOME!!! and i've been too busy seeing my friends and family to go online. its been a week exactly since i got back. went back to tj with navleen and the sis to collect my A level cert, but actually i just went to experience,once again, the wonder that is Bedok South Food Centre. mee pok, fishball mee and popiah....which pretty much made up 2 years worth of lunches in that school. met ez and muni after that in town to eat tim tams, cam whore and plan the rest of my 3 week vacation.oh and i finally finally finally bought Shantaram. its awesome so far, but its been put on hiatus so i can read Giggs' biography(thanks aga!!)

wednesday i met up with p10 and had wonton mee and teh peng which was pretty darn awesome considering it only cost me 4.70 and tasted damn good. went to sit in istana park after that just to chat and catch up. i love just sitting somewhere with friends and talking. its the best feeling.

thursday was spent in the salon...doin my hair. 6 bloody hours...and 1 book later(The Kite Runner - wonderful book) and now i have nice straight, manageable hair again. :)

my dad came back on friday morning. it was so so nice to see him again. mum cooked up a big lunch and then we had a really great dinner at Olive in labrador park. i think my mum wanted me to stay home cos my dad was there, but he had a convenient conference call with his boss, so i took the opportunity to go to clarke quay with navleen and tina. MoS was shit(AGAIN...why am i so unlucky??) so we went to sit at Cafe Iguana...tina said she needed to "get happy" so we shared a mango macho margerita which was very very yummy, as were 2 boys sitting across from us! haha. tina had her eye on one of them...navleen got called a bulldog. HA.

met sandhya after she finished work and we went to this bhangra club: Rupee Room, where we each met ppl we knew, whether we liked the ppl we saw was a different thing(hur hur)...it was really good fun, cos being malayalee, sandz and i had no clue what the songs were so we just made up our own random dance moves. best part: WE ARE CHEAPO AND IT WAS FREE....so yay!

saturday i went to one of my favourite places in singapore...the national stadium at kallang, for the last ever football match that was being played there before they demolished it. singapore kena hantam by australia 3-0, but it was alright. had a nice ramly burger and then went to the airport to see my dad off. man, kallang holds so many good memories for me- dancing in the rain, cheering cedar on til my throat hurt and i had no voice even though Choir SYF was like, in 3 days, going for Tiger Cup matches, National Day parades. i'll be so sad when it finally gets demolished. will definitely go for the cedar photo taking there before i go back to melb.

sunday was dinner with the family. more camwhoring with the cousins, and a good opportunity to see everyone in one go before i have to go back to school, aunties, uncles, cousins, family friends, relatives whose names escape me...typical indian family gathering la.

and today. the mother of all good food days.first lunch with bob,aga and arlene at fish and co, catching up on 1105 gossip and stuff...then met ez, sandz, muni and anita for dinner at Simpang which is this great food joint in bedok, where you sit under the trees and eat the best food that singapore has to offer...prata, satay, roti john, kebabs, mee goreng, nasi briyani, milo dinosaurs, teh peng...man...i ate a massive kebab, one milo peng and 1 teh peng and it only cost me 7.50. and i was stuffed after that...you have no idea how good it felt to say: Uncle one teh peng...how much ah?? hahaha and it tasted so good. and anita...spoke better malay than everyone else there: Uncle dua teh tarik, satu teh peng, satu ice kosong, satu ice lemon tea. hahahaha and all that only came to 4.70. God how i miss cheap good food.

sat there from 7-1045 just eating, taking pics, talking, laughing, bitching, planning...everything. i felt completely content. happy day.

ok i know i've probably bored you all with my stupid day by day recap, but i just love being back in singapore, despite the gross humidity ( i wear nothing but shorts and slippers out now) so i want to tell everyone(the 5 or so ppl that read this lol) about what i'm up to. sorry this is how its gonna be til im back in melb.

np: JT - what goes around comes around

love this song.

aiyoh i think my life has no meaning now that exams are over. no school, no football, nothing to do la... i just sit at home, eat, watch shows online, talk to friends, go out with friends, shop, see my sis, and count the days til i go home. haha. i will NOT be able to get back into the swing of studying once second sem starts.

oh ya update about the gunman, he turned himself in, the 2 injured ppl are still in hospital, and a trust fund of 250000 bucks has been set up by the govt for the dead man's kids. God bless him, he was really brave. and his kids are so adorable.

went over to HK's place where he and the sis cooked chicken curry. it was quite nice. bloody cold cos he was saving electricity. in the end we decided to go watch ocean's 13. it was pretty nice. but ocean's 11 is still the ultimate la...12 was shit and 13 was somewhere in between.

went to DFO twice in the last week..yeah all the way to essondon. twice... once on tues with the sis and HK where i bought very pretty boots, jeans and a jacket. plus 3 tops and a pair of flip flops. then on thurs, went with val and melissa again, but dint buy anything cos...there was nothing else to buy and i felt a bit guilty about spending all my money on tuesday.

thursday night was end of exams party, so melissa, val and i went and met up with melissa's friend liz a few hours later. i had quite alot of fun. it was nice to let loose after 1 semester la. finally went home at FOUR in the morning,slightly tipsy but not absolutely drunk(that'll never happen...im not that stupid) and my feet were killing me. my boots are pretty, but they're not the most comfy..YET!they need to be broken in.

friday was my relaxing day. met the sis and HK to eat at Koko Black. oh.my.god................its heaven seriously. the chocolate mousse was just...i cant describe la, it was too good. my sis had something called the chocolate affogato, if i remember rightly, which is vanilla ice cream and a small pitcher of hot chocolate...then you pour the hot chocolate over the ice cream and eat...wah lao it was damn good. so was HK's hot chocolate plus the choco ice cream we ordered. it was ALL GOOD LA! i wanna work there...or better still just live inside the kitchen. now i have koko black and brunetti's...and navleen has tim horton's...where the choco danish is apparently..sex. HAHAHA. cant wait to see you darling!!

i've booked my airport shuttle for monday. i've made a list of all the things i need to pack and do. i hope my sis has checked us in and gotten us seats next to each other. i dont want another hair-raising episode like the one before we went to new york. hahahaha.

ok i have to CLEAR MY FRIDGE!!! still have a bit of jam, about 5 slices of bread and 2 eggs. actually i dont think thats enough to last me til monday morning, but worst come to worst i'll walk up to subway and buy smth. i love kfc, and its so nearby but its kinda ex...and i really dont need to get any fatter. hahaha.

i need to walk to safeway and get tim tams for the girlies. i dunno what flavour they want so maybe i'll get one of each. if they dont like then...well...more for me i guess!

going to melissa's house tmr to get friday night lights! and thursday's photos. YAY! must remember to bring thumb drive...ok actually if i forget its not a big deal..i live like, across the road. hahaha. ok i'm off to try and start packing. 3 dayssssssssssssssssssssss! mee pok here i come!

ok i'm going to research which universities are located in Darwin. why? cos its 21 degrees there and 10 degrees in melbourne. my electricity bill was thru the roof this month cos my heater is always turned on. i nearly cried when i got my bill in the mail.

its so cold. i cant wait to go home, partly because i cant wait to feel the sun shine on me again. that and the fact that i really miss mee pok. and my friends.

the sister has finally finished exams. so we are hanging out, eating messy sandwiches, buying boots, and huddling on couches in winter jackets. good life no?

real madrid won la liga. yay for beckham. now that he, zidane, figo, ronaldo and roberto carlos have all left Real...i dont give a rat's ass about them anymore. i will be a full fledged valencia lover from now on.

apologies to my friends. my msn has been really screwed up this past week, so i havent been able to talk to ANYONE!!! either that, or i say hello, and then MSN signs me out. bitch. nav's back from europe, sam's going off to south africa soon...i want to talk to them but i cantttttttt...

there's a gunman on the loose in melbourne. he shot 3 people, killing one, on monday morning, not too far from my place. now there's a massive manhunt going on to find the guy. a bit scary man...there's a simple solution, but nobody wants to take it. outlaw guns. simple.

my feet are really white now. i cant wait to wear flip flops and feel breeze on my toes again. i miss my slipper tan.

FIVE DAYS TIL IM HOME!!!

EXAMS ARE OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today was val's bday and we were blessed with great weather...not that cold and no rain whatsoever. spent the afternoon at the botanic gardens eating, laughing, singing, looking at swans. all in all a great day and val WAS surprised so yay!!! got a great video of her doing a rendition of coldplay's green eyes...and when i'm not feeling so lazy i'll upload it.becky's bro made an AMAZING, STUPENDOUS, WONDEROUS chocolate and raspberry cake for us.oh my God it was heaven on my tongue.

epl fixtures are out. the season starts on aug11 against reading and ends on may11 2008 against wigan. sept 1st we play sunderland away. sept22 against chelski at OT, Arsenal in london on Nov3, liverpool on dec15 at anfield, sunderland at OT on dec26. I CANNOT WAIT for that. roy keane's return YAY!!! liverpool at OT on mar22, arsenal at OT on apr12 and chelsea at the bridge on apr26. tricky starting and ending periods, but hopefully we can win the title again. also, hopefully, i'll have moved into a proper apartment with cable tv by then and i wont have to rely on lauyapok streams that always break down.

rafael nadal won the french open. amazing match, which i managed to catch online...had a pretty good stream. nadal=awesome. thats all i can say. he doesnt serve fast, only at abt 150-160 kmh on average, but cos he's a lefty, the ball spins and is totally unpredictable. he had 25 unforced errors compared to 55 by federer, who looked quite out of it. but who cares. 3 french opens in a row for the 21 year old who has made 10million bucks in his career. hopefully he can give federer a run for his money in wimbledon, tho i think fed is still the king of grass, but we shall see. end of june baby!!! its coming and the best part...i'll be in singapore at the time and can watch ALL the action on ESPN...God i miss cable tv.

i spent the last 2 days reading The Virgin Suicides. i remember the movie vaguely, but the book is pretty good in my opinion. i actually held my own wrists when i read about how one of the girls slit hers in the tub. *shudder*

gonna start my harry potter marathon soon. this is when i re-read all the potter books in anticipation for the release of a new book. gotta finish by the time i go home, cos i dun wanna lug the heavy book on the plane. 6 books in ten days. can i do it? yes i can.

the sister's having exams. am waiting impatiently for her to finish so we can hang out. i think she'll do well..she studied really hard, unless she was lying all those times she said she was studying when i tried to talk to her online. hahaha.

omg i just ate 20 tim tams in 2 days. i ought to be shot. nvm, i think i burned some calories when i walked from home to the botanic gardens, AROUND THE WHOLE GARDENS and back home again. that should be quite a few calories right? RIGHT??? ok dont answer that.

am off to watch lost now. i dunno why i still watch, but like melissa said, its like...started watching, so just watch la... i think the writers have no clue where they're going with this show, and neither do i, but what the hell...not like i have anything else to do.

ok took some time off tonight to fiddle with my blog layout. and found a new one. i think it looks quite cute. if you hate it, dont tell me.

spent 7 bloody hours in the library today listening to earth science lectures on my ipod. my ears are so sore now and i can barely stay awake. but i still have 2 lectures to go. tmr i'm gonna just read all my summaries and look over past exam papers. i hope i do well.

aaaaah in 37.5 hours this will all be over!

tmr is a public holiday so the school library wont be open for as long as it usually is.bummer. usually its 3am but tmr its 5pm. just cos its some holiday known as the queen's bday. i dunno which queen. im thinking Elizabeth II but who knows. these australians are very funny. they want to be known as a separate entity with their own govt and national anthem and to be apart from the commonwealth then they still go celebrate stupid things like this. a bit rubbish right?

on my way out of school, i saw aruj(sister's bf's roommate) walking in. as it is it was so dark, then he was wearing a sweatshirt with the hood up on his head so i couldnt see his face at all. i saw him from far away and was thinking...'ok that is aruj, but i'm not 100% sure, so i shouldnt just like scream HI!!! and then its the wrong person'....so i looked at him, he looked at me, i looked at him...then he waved at me...and i was like...ok its really him. aiyoh, i know its not funny, but it just felt so dumb la. i hate winter. i cant see anything after 6pm.

french open men's final on now!!! nadal vs federer. justine henin won the women's trophy yesterday yay yay yay. hope nadal beats federer. men's tennis is just not fun anymore, now that ferderer just steamrolls past everyone on his way to the title. i will never forget how he completely humiliated andy roddick at the Aus Open. ok whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cant i get a stream???

oh by the way, saw a guy that looks EXACTLY like nadal in the school library. i was really shocked. i thought my contacts were misbehaving again and screwing up my vision.

i think the staff at Subway near my school know me now. they smile and say hi when i go in...which is erm....almost everyday. what to do, there's no food in my house and their daily subs are 3.50...might as well right?

there's been thefts and vandalism in my building. and somebody spit in the lift. WTF! ppl 18, 19 years old already still doing this.

hi everyone, just a quick post before i go and drown myself in chem. my sweet old dad sent me this link. its a site trying to raise money to fund free mammograms for underprivelaged women.

all you need to do is click on the pink button in the middle of the page. they need 6 million clicks to get 20k worth of funding and they need it in the next 26 days. they're nowhere near their target yet. so have a heart, think of your boobs and get clicking.

i have my first exam in 36.5 hours, the next 9 days will decide my life and its freezing cold. don't judge me for listening to comforting songs from old disney classics, cos that's what ive been doing on and off for the past 3 days.

have been trying to study as much as possible in the last 4 or 5 days. spending 5/6 hours at a time in various libraries mugging my brains out. caffeine, water and sandwiches have been instrumental in keeping me alive. along with the thought that in 9 days it will all be over, and in 21 days i will be back home. my plan for winter break?

1)cut hair and maybe highlight? i'm thinking red highlights for some strange reason
2)see all my friends...again and again and again
3)EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT...all the unhealthy hawker food and my mum's cooking
4)go running or at least find some way to exercise
5)get a tan
6)go back to TJ to collect my A level cert and SGC and choir merit award
7)go back to cedar for fun
8)find some deals at great singapore sale
9)pack up my room
10)see my cousins

went to max brenner's for the first time last night with the sister and HK. niiiiiiiiice. chocolate is always appreciated by me. i had the venezuelan milk chocolate drink and half a waffle with strawberries.joy.

met jema at the state library to study today. it was study study study reminisce study study study gossip study study study. apparently there's a p10 trip to malaysia i dont know about? hello why is everyone going malaysia without me?!?!

i realise i have a lot of coffee loyalty cards to use up. 6 more before i get a free drink at gloria jean's...4 more at the school juice bar and 6 more at castro's...ok screw castro's im not going there anymore, its ex and not that great. i think i will finish the juice bar one by the time exams are over.and maybe i'll try to cheat and get my card stamped at the gloria jean's in singapore...i wonder if starbucks has a loyalty card cos their cappuccino rules.

was hoping that some of my friends would be having orientation around the time i'm back home..then i can go and crash and see what a local uni orientation is like. but it's all on the 6th and 7th, which incidentally, is NOT national day (inside joke :D). yup, so i'll be back in aussie by then, too early for singapore orientations, and too late for aussie ones. but just in time for HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!! GAH 48 DAYS LEFT!!! ooh and i get a free owl too...does anyone want it? i'm not much of a soft toy person other than my bears from bloomingdale's and cedar.

anita's leaving singapore on 5th july.....so earlyyyyyy and sandz prob going sometime b/w 10th and 13th...which should be around grace's departure time too. and SAMYU!!! has betrayed me and is going to south africa the day i come back...HELLO FRIEND PRIORITIES AH!!!! ok kidding. dont be fraternising with murderous looking boys please (more inside jokes!!)

now for the obligatory football news. man united has signed 2 of the game's most promising youngsters and have also finally FINALLY landed owen hargreaves. david beckham has returned to the england squad and was SUPERB against brazil, which is more than i can say for fat frank lampard and john-least-charismatic-captain-EVER-Terry. oh and ryan giggs played his last ever game for wales. SAD!

oh oh funny story. yesterday the sister and i were in UniMelb library and SOMEONE FARTED....those really potent, silent-killer type of farts that are so smelly that your nose hair just kinda fries and dies. wah lao eh it was damn damn bad man!! i ate a mint to get the smell out of my nose and my sister practically shoved her whole head in my box of mints to escape the stench. and the 2 of us plus the girl next to us couldnt stop laughing. i couldnt tell if my eyes were watering from the smell or from the laughter. it was like something died in somebody's butt or smth. unbelievable.

navleen is on holiday.again.in london.and majorca. bring me back a latin lovah..and sangria...if you cant, richard will do just as nicely as well. i miss you jetsetter!!!

ok i'm off to watch garden state, which is like, one of the coolest movies (with one of the coolest soundtracks) i've ever seen. christabel i know you're jealous. but then again, you probably have it on DVD.

good God today i was in school from 9-5...first was 3.5 hours of chem revision then lunch then 2.5 hours of bio revision. ari, thy and i decided to take a walk around and try and find where our exam venue was, cos its not in school. apparently there's no hall big enough to accomodate everyone. i dunno why they cant split the cohort up into groups and put us in seperate LTs...for God's sake, Redmond Barry building has 4 LTs on its own already. madness. instead we have to walk for 10 mins to this building near the melbourne museum to sit for our exams. what a load of crap. haha well, hasseeb's exams are in albert park...which is where the grand prix is held. i dunno what kind of hall they have there.

anyway, school today. bloody tiring man. chem revision really killed all my brain cells. it was crowded and this one lecturer kept going on and on and on until he ate into half an hour of our hour long lunch. FOOL! bio wasnt so bad, it was quite fast moving. tomorrow i have to go back for chem tut.and friday there's physics. some study break this is turning out to be!

oh and even better news...the temperature tmr...listen to this. min NINE max FIFTEEN....noooooooooooooooooooooooo why so colddddddddddd. as if the monster winds today werent enough. they were GALE FORCE WINDS i kid you not. there was a wind warning for motorists and everything. walking to school in the morning i nearly got blown sideways. i knew all the weight i put on eating tim tams would come in handy. at least i dint get blown away. i shudder to think about my sister in clayton. she probably flew off a few times with the breeze.

ok i've done 2006 chem paper. and i'm halfway through 2005. shall do until 2004 tonight..plus go thru my chem tutes before tmr's revision session. tmr i'm going to camp at Gloria Jean's and finally get down to revising my botany notes. bio exam is 6 days away crapshitdamn.

oh oh oh before i forget. vet science fac got back to me and said its ok if i do 2 bio subjects next semester. BIOLOGY 111 HERE I COME!!! goodbye earth science. i will miss earth science boy...or rather i will miss looking at him, but studies come first.i cant tahan earth science anymore. and i probably wont do well in it. plus, bio 111 has no labs, and i think tutes are only every other week, plus there's a lot of self-learning tasks. so that means...LESS CONTACT HOURS FOR MEEEEEEEE...which is always a good thing.28 hours this semester was so gross. everyday in school from 9-5 and so many breaks. i dunno what i was thinking when i planned my timetable man. stupid stupid kiki. but i think i will take all the 10am labs again la...i will fall asleep if i go to lab at 2pm..as earth science prac has taught me. now if only phys lab could stop being such a bitch, its the only lab that i have without fail every week...and its the most boring pointless one. whole day stand there connecting wires or bouncing balls or listening to resonance waves.*shudder*

i have no food in my house again. sigh.

today was the last day of semester one!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! exactly one month before im on a flight back home. went for all the morning lectures today, so semester officially ended for me at 11am. but i hung around for SSS end of semester bbq on south lawn. ppl were drunk and it was only 1pm.one boozed up guy came to say hi to me and ariane and we have absolutely no idea who he is...aiyoh..we just muttered a polite HI back and steeled ourselves as he bumped into us and then staggered away. hahaha it was really quite funny.somebody came in a white tuxedo. and they were advertising their post exam bash with the slogan...CHEAP DRINKS FREE SEX! hahahahahahaha.there was literally a guy walking up and down the queue shouting that while he gave out flyers.

i passed my prac exam!!! 71%...it could have been better but nvm, i will ace my theory paper i hope.to be honest i was quite relieved to pass actually. im thinking of dropping earth science next semester. i feel like taking another bio subject, but i must check whether the vet science fac approves first. if they dont...im gonna cry. i dont wanna do ES anymore...tho earth science boy was looking bloody hot today.he was in a SUIT...hubba hubba.

np: Kaiser Chiefs - i predict a riot

its been a long ass week. had ALL my labs and ALL my tutes aiyoh very tiring. plus phys test which dint go too badly except for the first question but everybody who did that test bombed the first question. it was a test on fluids, which i was reasonably good at in TJ, so i'm not too worried i guess.and even if i bomb the test, i'll remind myself that its only worth 3.3 percent of my final grade.

after that taxing week, i met jema last night. we were supposed to do something which in the end we dint do and we went shopping instead. haha occupying the changing room to talk crap as usual, tho this was not as bad as the time 5 of us squeezed into the zara changing room in singapore for half an hour. had dinner in chinatown then dessert at freddo's...bloody hell i love that gelato.

samyu's back in sgp but instead of talking to me on msn she went off to do other stuff on the net! I DONT APPRECIATE THAT SAM!! so sandz and i had a long lovely chat instead about food and our cute fathers...plus the hilarious yo mama/yo stewardess jokes. haha good times. nav's in canada for the week. and ezzah! i havent talked to you in forever and a day. 37 days til im home!

its been raining alot the past 2 days. thursday morning when i was checking my mail i got a letter from the post office saying there was a package for me waiting to be collected..my JERSEYS had arrived! so i walked down to lygon during my lunch hour even tho it was raining really badly to collect it. had to wait 10 mins cos the inefficient staff couldnt find it at first. i would have stabbed them with my umbrella if they had lost it.but they didnt and i got my package and the jerseys are really really really nice. tonight if we win the FA cup, i will wear it to school on monday.

Grace has decided to accept Uni of Melbourne and i could not be happier for her...and for me.and jema. haha. xunny has gotten into NUS Law! well done lovely! you and navleen can be classmates and that is gonna be hilarious.i can just see u two bitching about anything and everything.

so now i'll have free insurance(grace), pyschological(sandz and the mummy) and legal(nav,xunny and the sister plus 2 cousins and an uncle..GOD) advice. excellent. my life is set.

now if only i could ace my exams and give everyone free veterinary advice. ok im off to drown myself in bio.

wow its been a while since i heard this song. if anyone's interested, i did NOT get 3 free muffins in a row, though the 3rd one was heavily discounted. i refused to take it free cos i felt really guilty. haha. DAMN THIS CONSCIENCE OF MINE!

i really really miss my friends. a few of them were discussing where they were going that night, or blogging about their outings or baking at someone's house or having class get-togethers and i found myself REALLY wanting to be there. but instead, where was i on saturday? studying in school with Ariane. which was fun in itself since we were going mad trying to figure out what was going on in one lecturer's notes, but still, it was studying....thats not very nice. had lunch with her after that, and then she went to work and i went home. to study more. i reaaaaaaaaaally miss my gfs back home. alot alot alot alot alot.

3 weeks to exams. and i havent started physics revision. !^%$&^@!#...and i have a phys test tmr. its open ended.

tonight there's catalunya grand prix PLUS man united's last game of the season where we will lift the trophy. shit shit shit why must both be at the same time?!maybe it'll be a fantastic night. and both kimi and man united will win.

it's wonderful to see all my friends having their wishes fulfilled. many are getting their uni acceptance letters. i rmb getting mine and it was great. i wish i couldve shared it with someone at the time. but its all good. so in no particular order, congratualtions to the following high-fliers:

Navleen!!! NUS LAW BAYBEEE! congratulations darling!party when i come back.

Ezzah - SMU LAW...i cannot get over that you're not doing medicine.my world has gone upside down.

Sandz - UNI MELB PSYCH!! HELL YES I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND COMING!

Agatha - NUS FASS - damn they don't have spanish! but learn a european language, it will come in useful during our trip!

Belle - NUS FASS! congratulations!! look for my 3rd year cousin! haha ok kidding.

Michelle - NUS FASS and something else which i dont know. but well done anyway!!

Grace - Grace got into a shitload of unis...melbourne, ANU, NUS, NTU...CHOOSE MELBOURNE pleaaaaaaase.

Atiqah - NTU and i know she got her first choice so that is awesome.

Anita - ANU and Uni Tas...congratulations. i hope you come to aus but whatever you decide..well done!

i'm not sure about some of my other friends like sam, xun-ai and almost everyone from 1105...somebody update me please!

ok i really have to go grocery shopping now. i've put it off for far too long. then i have to come back and study. i've put that off for too long too. pfft.

i have no food in my house. none. no wait...i have 3 slices of cheese, a carrot and milo. oh a handful of pasta too...but no sauce to cook it with. :( but im too lazy to go grocery shopping. maybe after school tomorrow. oh wait shit, i have to wait for 4pm so i can go borrow my textbook frm the lib so i can keep it for the weekend...haiyah so troublesome.

i am feeling kinda brain dead. had a 6 hour break between classes yesterday and spent 5 bloody hours camped in the union house basement and after lunch in the earth science library buried in the textbook...made up my mnemonics for memorising the geological time scale and somehow they all involve chelsea football club and how much i hate them...for example, my mnemonic for the palaeozoic age subdivisions is as follows:

Palaeozoic: Pathetic

Cambrian Chelsea

Ordovician Only

Silurian Send

Devonian Drogba

Carboniferous Crappy

Permian Passes

and there are 2 more after that..mainly about how chelsea is toxic. ya i was pretty zapped by the time earth science lecture started...and pretty much fell thru my front door when i got home.

been getting free muffins from the coffee house...YAY...had to put up with my hand being mauled, but the humongous blueberry muffin i got in return was bloody nice...and i got another free one the very next day. you think my luck will run 3 days in a row? i'll let you know tmr.

today i made a bit of a fool of myself in phys tut...aga messaged me and it was a funny message and i smiled really widely in phys tut which is basically a silent class and the tutor looked at me like maybe i was mad...gosh...i dont wanna show my face there next week!

its been getting colder...so im taking the opportunity to wear my gorgeous new scarf and smirk at all the chelsea fans i pass COS MAN UNITED ARE THE CHAMPIONS BAYBEE!!!! woohoo..arsenal did us a favour by holding chelsea to a draw, thus giving us the title...the chelsea vs man u match this morning was so stupid...man u fielded so many reserve players and chelski still couldnt win. aiyoh. kinda makes me regret that we dint put out a better team...wouldve won 4-0 maybe.

my new bio lecturer is a really funny woman...we're doing sexual reproduction now...and she was talking about how earthworms have both male and female organs situated in different parts of the body, and therefore they have sex in the 69 position...and yes i swear she actually said 69 position...then when everybody laughed she said "I knew that was the only way i could make ya'll understand it"

then we went on to talk about contraception because, as she put it..."you all probably need to know this now"...i think my friend almost had a fit laughing.and boys and girls...the one way to ensure no unwanted pregnancy...is to abstain from sex...yeah it took a real genius to figure THAT ONE out...i should become a uni lecturer now...

or maybe a train driver...my sister was telling me aussie train drivers make 80k a year...thats right EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!! so i asked my local friend about it and here was her reply...."OH i thought it was more"..............WTF!!!!!!!! WHY AM I IN UNI????? the train driver's job is how effing easy? one button for go, one button for stop, one button for intercom...they dont even have to open the doors ok...we pull open the door ourself. LOUSY LA!!!! in singapore if they make 20 000 a year i think quite good already for a train driver, and here is EIGHTY??? no wonder my fees so ex and my food costs a bomb, all the money goes to the train driver. cheebye.

today my friends were saying how the uni sends you an email if you're failing a subject to let you know that you're failing and that dropping a subject is an option...hello am i back in A levels? i dont know why they tell ppl to drop...if ppl fail and repeat the sub instead of dropping it, doesnt the school make more money? no business sense i tell you....

ok my flight back is confirmed...i'll be getting home on the 25th of june...around 8-9pm sgp time...and staying for 3 weeks only aiyoh...i dont want to come back and face winter...i miss the sun. return flight is 18th july...missing my friend's 21st bday...but nvm i dun care...i cant wait to go home and see everyone and eat good food and get a tan...and and and...ok i dunno but i cant wait to go home!

melissa's dad is coming down this weekend to sydney for work and coming to melbourne to see her and her sis...she's so happy haha...

man i love my dad...

the united away jersey is out of stock in melbourne AND in singapore, so basically the only way to get it is to order from www.manutd.com...and you need a credit card for that...

now my supplementary credit card was given to me by my dad on the condition that i dont use it for rubbish...only for emergencies...and i've had no problems sticking to the plan.i dont want to take money from him for my random, occasional, expensive purchases , i prefer to save up from the allowance he gave me when i came to melbourne and then buy my stuff, like what i did with the home jersey.but i really really really wanted a jersey and aga dint have access to a credit card...so i messaged him ( abit tentative) and said i knew credit cards were for emergencies and educational purposes only but could i please please please order the jerseys online and i would pay him back and cook for him...and his sweet reply?

"go ahead and order the jerseys...and you dont have to pay me back...just eat well, study hard and be safe. love you."

could i ask for a sweeter old man? i dont think so. the worst part of this conversation was that i ran out of phone credit so i'm not sure if he got my reply...which is also why i havent replied to you aga!! sorry!!

all in all its been a great weekend...had a lot of fun on my earth science field trip. collected a shark tooth fossil and a couple of nice volcanic rocks...and the weirdest part which made me realise how small this planet is and how interconnected we are? i managed to call my dad all the way in Abu Dhabi in the Middle east from the top of a volcano in Geelong, Victoria ( an ulu farm country outside of Melbourne). phones and satellites...they make the world go round.

man united beat man city last night...if chelsea fail to beat arsenal at the emirates tonight...the title will come back to Old Trafford. the feeling i had when the final whistle blew last night was incredible..after 4 years of waiting, the time is finally drawing near. i cant wait. i hope we win i hope we win i hope we win!!

so now i've got 2 jerseys coming my way, the possibility of man united being confirmed champions tonight and no bio prac this week... LIFE IS AWESOME!

2007-05-04T03:16:00.000-07:00

slept for 11 hours after my 39hour sleepless marathon...my eyes were burning by the time i lay down...but 11 hours was really really good and refreshing..

had a short day today, so met my sis for lunch and some walking around after that...i finally ate mcdonalds after 2.5 months in melbourne...$5.45 for a filet o fish meal..i tell you it was the size of a fucking happy meal in sgp ok...IM DAMN ANGRY...it was so tiny la...my sis was laughing at it. :(

i was looking for a manchester united jersey after that...sis was kind enough to follow me to look for it...im sure if it had been my friends they would have put their collective foot down and vehemently protested. went to this football store in melb central...the owner was obviously a united fan....united merchandise dominated the store...anyway, they dint have jerseys but i DID buy a gorgeous official man united scarf for myself and aga...its so warm and fuzzy and nice...im wearing it to school every day in winter...the guy recommended a store to buy jerseys but said they would prob be all sold out...was pretty sad cos he dint know where the store was.

went on to bourke street where we were looking for the David Jones Foodhall...David Jones is the aus version of marks&spencer...i tell you the foodhall is bloody awesome ok...so much food that looks so so so so so delicious...the cakes..cookies, seafood, dips, cheeses, chocolates...woohoo...bought a choco chip cookie and sat on a streetside bench to talk and listen to nice songs on our ipod..it was very very nice..

but before we went to the foodhall, guess what my sis happened to spot? THATS RIGHT...THE SHOP THAT THE GUY RECOMMENDED...and i found my lovely, gorgeous, amazing jersey...and i bought it...and then i had this stupid happy grin on my face.it was the best 150 bucks i've ever spent.and im not the least bit guilty.

followed the sis to body shop to find a prez for her friend...after many detours and backtracks, she finally bought a really really really nice gift set for her friend. went home after that a bit tired but immensely satisfied...wanted to buy the away jersey as well, but could only find HUMONGOUS sizes...the one i found literally ended below my knee....but no matter...i'll find it somehow.

looking forward to a good weekend..earth science fieldtrip tmr with free bbq lunch. maybe i'll wear my new scarf!! haha.blogger is being a bitch again...am trying to upload photos of the stuff i bought today but its taking a really long time...i think i'll go cook first and come back later to see if its done.

ok im back...and halfway thru my dinner...and the pictures arent done...i'll try another time..tho i think only aga's interested.

np: the stone roses - this is the one

so...this wasn't the one for manchester united. had a bad feeling going into this match. 2 away goals conceded,and going to play in the cauldron that is the san siro. 4 and a half thousand manchester united fans vs 78000 milanese.

man united played like crap. simple as that. scholes giggs and ronaldo did not show up at all...and therefore rooney, alone up front, had no chances. fletcher and carrick, meant to be attacking midfielders, were forced to track back and defend for 95% of the match. the defence...well...what defence...vidic looked off the pace, wes brown was ok, o shea crappy, heinze was better at attacking. VDS made 1 or 2 good saves, and that was it. best MU player today imo-carrick or rooney...there wasnt much to choose from.

and kaka, ambrossini, pirlo and gattuso decided to have a fantastic game all at the same time. final score 3-0 to milan...they deserved it, they were better. im not one of those fans who's gonna say my team was the best or deserved to win when we didnt. i sincerely hope ac milan beat liverpool in the final. they are the most consistent side in europe...making 4 out of the last 6 finals or something like that.

i am immensely proud of manchester united. we dint make it past the group stage last season. people predicted we would end up trophyless, and 4th in the premiership. the team is young, but they've had a magnificent season, had a few thrilling comebacks, and are now in a position to win 2 trophies. even after tonight, i still love this team, and i'm so proud of what they did this season that i might burst.

3 more games and the prem trophy could be ours...and then may 19th-we're taking jose and his muppets down. and then next season...the world better watch out.

i'll spend the next hour crying/cursing, but this weekend, i am going to look for my jerseys...and wear them proudly to school next week.

glory glory.

saturday morning and im bored as hell...oh and to answer some of the comments from 3 posts down...yes little bladders are cute, as are little livers, hearts and lungs. also, YES i wanna rent a private island and go for holiday..and i wouldnt mind not getting married if we could all live there together.too bad xunny.

woke up at 430am on thursday morning for liverpool vs chelsea...waste of time i tell you....its 3 hours of my life that i will never get back.

school was really relaxing this week...only 13 out of the normal 28 hours due to public holidays, and the lack of 2 lab classes and 1 tutorial.

i realise ive only got like 5 weeks til exams start. :((((((

but only 2 months til im on a flight home....yeah baby. prata, mee goreng, mee pok, chilli crab, max brenner's here i come.

went out with jema on wednesday. i brought her to brunetti's to eat cake. nutella hazelnut praline or something like that. all that matters is that it was heavenly!

my new bio lecturer is the cutest thing ever..he's about 70, really skinny, white hair, and he wears shorts and long sleeved shirts to ever lecture...plus really long white socks and white tennis shoes. haha i love him.

jose mourinho is the world's biggest moaner. i hate him. i love ronaldo.

hahaha ok my brain isnt working and ive got nothing to say.this week was so uninteresting! i'll be back when i something exciting happens in my life.

ok for those who dont like football, you can just not read this post.

the weekend wasnt perfect in footballing terms...i thought we had slipped up big time when we could only draw with boro...i thought chelsea were certain to beat newcastle. but football always surprises us when we dont expect it...newcastle held chelsea to a draw and now its all square again. apparently ryan giggs text messaged nicky butt to ask him to do man utd a favour and keep chelsea at bay. nicky butt=legend.

today morning...430am...was the most heartstopping game i've watched in a long long long time. manchester united vs AC Milan at Old Trafford, Champions League semi final.

5th min: Ronaldo goal Man utd 1 Milan 0

22nd min: Kaka goal Man utd 1 Milan 1

37th min: Kaka goal Man utd 1 Milan 2

59th min: Rooney goal Man utd 2 Milan 2

91st min: Rooney goal Man utd 3 Milan 2

omggggggggggg i swear my heart was pumping so hard it started to hurt. brilliant game. man utd had an injury ravaged defence...rio, neville, vidic all injured. so we put out oshea,brown,heinze and evra. not our best defence BY FAR. and Kaka's 2 goals. massive defensive lapses...

but man utd's attacking players...what can i say about them. carrick fletcher scholes ronaldo rooney giggs. brilliant play in the second half...fletch was man of the match if you ask me. tackling shooting passing running running and more running. i cant even write about the game coherently, it was THAT good.

conceding 2 away goals was NOT what we wanted, but if we go to milan and just attack-unleash our wingers on them (they have a wide pitch and an ancient defence) and show some whisper of a defence next week...i think we can go through...i really really do. and if we dont...well at least we went down fighting. from the group stages to the semi finals in one season is something to be proud of.

manchester united will be the death of me...i seriously think i will die cheering during one of their games. but what a happy death it will be.

np: the fray - look after you

ok im back to normal now. its been a very stressful 4 days...but its all over.

tuesday, phys prac was long and boring, but my partner and i managed to get thru it with the help of a student who had used our workstation before us and happened to leave all his answers there...hurray..the guys behind us thought we were damn smart cos we had answers to all their questions.

wednesday, the day i was most afraid of. rat dissection day. managed to get thru the boring-ass physics lecture somehow(with the help of darling roberto's coffee of course) and made my way nervously upstairs. it was bloody cold and to make things worse, they opened the windows in the lab so that it wouldnt stink too much. chose a very nice, clean, white female rat. i suspect they were gassed that morning itself, as rigor mortis hadnt set in yet. the thing i was most nervous of before was not blood and guts and stuff, but whether i would actually be able to make the first incision into the animal. i mean, if i couldnt, that would be like, the end of my veterinary dream. but i think the trick is confidence...so i just grabbed my scissors, and cut. and thankfully, i did not feel sick, sad, weepy, wobbly, faint, or anything else. i just felt calm. out of respect to my rat, i will not say that i had fun. i did not have fun. but i must say i valued the experience. this whole slicing into an animal thing has been worrying me for a couple of years, and now i've proven to myself that i can do it. for me, its a big mental hurdle thats been overcome. so yay! the prac demonstrators were very nice about this prac as well, always helping, teaching and warning ppl that anyone found mutilating/disrespecting their rat would automatically fail the prac.it was a very informative session, things are different when you see them in the flesh and not the perfect textbook diagrams. i mistook my rat's uterus for its bladder(WHAT?? they're next to each other ANYWAY) and the scottish guy across the table(i finally learnt his name, its malcolm) was nice enough to point out my mistake and show me where the bladder really was. i dint think much of him digging thru his(AND MY) rat with his bare fingers, but whatever, he's smart. i'll need a friend like him in bio lab.to top it all off, i think i got full marks for this prac, so i'm really happy.thanks to my rat for sacrificing her life for the sake of my education.

today was the last of my worrisome days, physics mid semester test, which actually went pretty well. so its all over, got a relaxing week next week. no school on tues or wed...and only 3 hours on friday. and jema will be here on sunday, so we'll go out.

i got shut out of my internet banking account a couple of days ago so had to go to the bank today to sort it all out. turns out they tracked someone logging into my account from the US....which was of course my DAD, whom i gave the password to, but apparently its considered a security breach, so had to go there, talk to the customer service officer in another office...settle everything, then my banking account got unlocked. called my dad to tell him to keep his itchy,albeit well-meaning fingers away from my net bank account. and found out that my mother has been on a shopping spree in NYC and bought etienne aigner shoes...i believe my exact reaction to this news was to shout damn loudly in the middle of campus: WAH LIVING IT UP AH???? omg im so embarrassing..its like how during bio lecture on wednesday, when my lecturer flashed a pic of footballers i said really really really loudly YAY!!! i should just bury my head in sand.

today a funny thing happened to me. i got on the tram to go to melbourne central train station during my lunch hour and thought to myself as the tram left the stop outside school...i think i should validate my card today. validating a card is basically how we pay our transport fare. usually i just dont validate and grab a free ride since i only travel 3 or 4 stops...but today something compelled me to validate my ticket. if caught with an unvalidated ticket by a conductor, i face a fine and my visa can be revoked after multiple offences. so i validated. on my way BACK to school for earth science, when i got off at the school stop, who should be waiting on the pavement but a bunch of conductors...bloody hell what a close call..so many students got caught for their tickets...lucky i decided to follow my gut. :)

spent half an hour chatting with roberto(the coffee guy to whom all my money goes) on wednesday. he was telling me how he's going on a holiday with a bunch of his friends to a PRIVATE ISLAND, which his gazillionaire friend is renting. the friend is bringing a 5-star chef along. and a YACHT..... yeah...a yacht. i was speechless for a full 10 seconds i swear. bloody hell how cool does that sound la??? i oso want a life like this...3 months holiday every year, go to private island, stand around and chat with students everyday. good stuff man. that's the way to live.

but unfortunately its not my life. now i have to go re-copy my bio notes...which i stupidly wrote on the wrong page of my lecture summary set. the bodoh lecturer skipped a lecture and dint tell us, and i without reading the heading on the page, blindly went to take notes on the wrong page. !#(@*%&^ i hate when nonsense like this happens.

today i was walking home from school at 615pm. it was dark already and pretty chilly. so there i was, walking, with my hands stuffed in my sweater pockets, my toes starting to lose feeling in my flip flops, the wind blowing my hair(which is now longer than it has ever been in all my 18 years) and oasis blaring into my ears as i maxed my ipod volume. and i felt peaceful, for the first time in many, many months.

and then, thoughts of my bio test, thursday's physics test, tuesday and wednesday's practicals, thoughts of my future, thoughts of the horrible nightmare i had last night, thoughts of the last 2 years that i completely wasted entered my head again and the peace was just shattered. it was really quite depressing for a couple of minutes. i remember the exact lyrics that were playing.

cos maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me

today's bio test...it wasnt all doom, gloom end of the world, but i know it could have gone better if i had put in more effort. story of my life! and the practicals coming up, especially bio. i'm dissecting a rat. don't even get me started on the nerves i'm feeling. and i have a mountain of reading to do for tmr and wednesday, plus study for thursday's phys test. its all a bit too much man.

add to that, the fact that i had almost zero sleep last night. had a pretty bad recurring nightmare that woke me up thrice in 5 hours. i was literally drenched in cold sweat. my cedar tee that i was sleeping in was wet and cold by the time i woke up at 7 to take a shower. it was my first nightmare in a couple of years i think. not sure what brought it on. anxiety? who knows.

had to have 2 coffees to stay awake today, thats how crappy i was feeling. but chem tut and earth science lecture went well, not to mention bio lecture, where we've started zoology. now THIS is what i'm interested in. animal anatomy, physiology, behaviour. THIS SORT OF THING. not cell biology and botany. today, when the lecturer was explaining the reasoning behind certain animal behaviour, i found myself instinctively supplying answers that i thought might be right (in my head of course, i dint voice anything aloud) and i was really happy when most of them were right. i felt like finally i was learning something actually worth knowing(to me at least) and that made me happy.

went out with my sis and hk on friday. we were eating at the train station and sitting at our table was this very elderly man in a suit eating a banana and iced coffee. he made some small talk with my sister and he was such a sweet old man. and suddenly, i missed my grandma. haha it was a fleeting feeling that comes out of nowhere occasionally.

ok i know this is a completely, random all over the place entry. but i needed to let off some steam. its all good, its not like im really sad or anything, just a bit stressed.

you know what's making me happy tho? football. another win for manchester united. we're going to wembley.

another thing that's making me happy: my dinner tonight. i had a bowl of kellog's frosties.with no milk. twice.

np: aqualung - brighter than sunshine

on the 10th of April 2007, at 1945GMT, manchester united thrashed roma 7-1.

suddenly my world seems so much brighter.cant say much for the game,it was just too amazing to describe. awesome play, awesome goals. SMITH SCORED!!

havent slept much in the past few days. 4 hours on monday night, 5 hours last night. and i keep going to bed when the sun is coming up. its worth it though, finished prison break season 2 and this morning i got to watch the best game of football EVER.

i also saw 300 yesterday with melissa and val. OH MY GAWD it was really really really cool. the whole thing was shot to look like a graphic novel and wah...it was just so entertaining. i need a spartan king of my own!! haha. the way they shot the fights with slow mo and stuff...it looks almost like the guys are dancing. borrowed elements from troy and lotr(including cast!!) and not much in terms of plot, but still one of the most entertaining movies i've ever seen.

went to eat after the movie...but mel and i were full from eating doritos in the cinema, so we had dessert while val ate lasagne at this place on lygon called cafe trevi...i had a bailey's cheesecake which just left me in a happy coma. and an iced coffee. the place had all these amazing SIGNED football jerseys all over, like maradona, BECKHAM, nedved, RONALDINHO, henry(pfft) and the euro04 winning greek team(DOUBLE PFFT)...i took a pic of most of them and took a pic WITH the maradona jersey with mel. i dont care if we looked stupid, it was nice to be just standing next to something he touched. and PELE signed the brazil jersey...SERIOUSLY YESTERDAY REALLY COULDNT HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER....chelsea got thru to the semis tho...at the expense of my darling vicente...damn jose and his band of 1-0 muppets.

the ironic part of our meal was that we were watching 'the biggest loser' on the tv in the cafe, which is this weight loss competition...haha while we were indulging in massive slabs of chocolately and alcoholic goodness...then we were hoping that after eating, we wouldnt have to JOIN the biggest loser.

gotta stop eating man...im gonna become damn fat by the time june rolls around and its time to go home.

ok can i just say before i go, that I'M IN LOVE WITH MY SCREENSAVER...and i know aga's in love with hers too..

random entry ya'll...but i havent posted hot guy pics in a while...and i know aga will appreciate this! plus every other living, breathing, red blooded female...which counts my sister out.

np: the fray - look after you

omg i havent stopped eating in 3 days. holidays do not agree with me. its been nothing but bread, soup, pasta, milo, juice and cereal. seriously i have NOT STOPPED EATING. gah!!

new favourite food. peanut butter and raspberry jam on toast...with a nice steaming cup of milo. told my friends, then found out that 2 of them hate peanut butter. hmph. had a cup of cream of mushroom, laden with pepper, and a slice of buttery toast, only to find out that navleen loves the exact same thing. we're soulmates ya'll...SOULMATES...forget stupid boys, navleen and i should just get married and go on foodie adventures together. preferably to majorca!! lucky bum!

anyway, been trying to study some bio for the last 3 days. finished 2 chapters. HA i'm gonna be screwed for mid-sems if i dont start studying tmr. but i got things to do tmr. like grocery shopping. and that always takes a long time cos i love walking around in the grocery shop looking at biscuits. horror of all horrors, i've RUN OUT OF TIM TAMS!! plus i've got a 20% borders discount coupon and its gonna take ALL of my willpower not to pop into borders tmr on the way to the supermarket and grab a book!!

wanted to buy the kite runner but my mum called in the nick of time and mentioned that she has it at home. mission for my one month holiday at home? read the alchemist, and the kite runner, see all my friends, eat lots of good food, do some exercise to prevent becoming fat after eating said good food...and go to the beach to get a tan while my friends in Aus shiver their butts off....its gonna be a good holiday.

ok things to do tmr...message jason who's going into army, pay my rent, check my mailbox, buy groceries. what else. not much. oh ya, start STUDYING and find out the plan for tuesday.

right now i have to go transfer all my clothes from the washer to the dryer. this is no mean feat. i waited til i'd run out of clean underwear and sleeping tee shirts/shorts before i went to do laundry. the 6 bucks i have to pay each time might as well be spent well!! but its a bitch to fold everything. oh plus i gotta wash all the stuff i used to cook dinner. plus throw my rubbish. this living alone thing is not all its cracked up to be.

on a brighter note: I'VE GONE THREE DAYS WITHOUT COFFEE!! yay.

this song is the coolest thing i've heard in a while. thanks karn!! but it makes me miss singing quite a lot. especially musicals with choreography.

its been a good week so far. no pracs, mostly lectures, and tmr's the last day before easter break. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!! went for dinner with mel, esther and val tonight. thai food which was yummy. had gelato after that. it was our one day of the week splurge. plus esther's going back to sgp for easter, so it was like a send off dinner of sorts. haha anyway it was damn good. wednesday night and we were standing in the park talking and eating ice cream like it was a holiday.

i highly recommend the following book: 'In the country of men' by Hisham Matar.

it is the story of a nine year old Libyan boy living/embroiled in the tyrannical regime of Muammar al gaddafi in late 1970s-early 1980s. even if you're politically apathetic like me, you will not be put off by this book. the politcal aspect is never really openly talked about and gaddafi is never referred to by name, but the political situation casts this oppressive shadow over the book. its so well written, and sad, and moving...and i just cant describe how you would feel after reading it. it is a magnificent book if you ask me.

it was one of the nominees for the man booker prize last year. how kiran desai won when this book was in the running is completely beyond me.

i'm starting to think that i wont be spending my easter break studying. this is dangerous. i'm hoping the libraries in school remain open cos there's no way i can study at home what with the internet and tv distracting me.ive found a new, really good site for watching tv shows. ugly betty, grey's, heroes, YOU NAME IT THEY HAVE IT!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHH why did i have to find it just before test week.

!^#@%&(

champions league tmr morning. liverpool thrashed psv this morning...bayern and milan drew. hope man u wins...and valencia as well.

its cold...i'm tired...i have nothing else to say...except, READ IN THE COUNTRY OF MEN!!

2007-04-01T02:30:00.000-07:00

oh my God, i should be struck down by lightning. i spent 126 bucks today...and i only feel slightly guilty. i'm too happy with my new stuff to be disgusted with myselffffff....

went shopping at the factory outlets at essondon...which is bloody far away from the city (its almost at the airport) with melissa, esther and val.had to walk for about 20 mins from the train station. we, being typical singaporeans, were there when the place opened...at 10am. and dint leave til 5pm. ha...we're horrible. so anyway, bought 2 tees, a skirt(YES A SKIRT, EVERYBODY GASP IN HORROR), a pair of 3/4 pants and a very lovely pair of 9 west shoes, along with lunch, coffee and my train ticket. 126bucks. not too bad...but still, its a lot of money.

kanina, michael phelps just broke ian thorpe's world record of 6 world championship gold medals. suddenly my day has turned very sour. at least he got DQ-ed from the 4x100 relay. and ian thorpe has been accused of taking drugs...my message to FINA. fuck off. simple as that.

man u whacked bolton 4-1!!! FOUR!!! brilliant second half. roma on thursday morning. bloody aussie tv is showing milan-munich...shitheads.

ok time for dinner. im damn tired and hungry after my day. and i dun wanna go to school tmr...at least its the week before easter break...and I ONLY HAVE 19 HOURS OF SCHOOL THIS WEEK! hurray!

EDIT: Ok i take back the hurray...watching grant hackett swim the 1500m freestyle. aiyoh..he's losing so badly. this is the guy who has OWNED the 15oo free since 1997. it should be named the grant hackett race. never won anything other than a gold for ANY 1500 race he has competed in since 97. wah lao eh, hackett has been awful this whole week. my heart goes out to him. but its ok...in the olympics next year...he will blast EVERYBODY out of the water.

does anyone else think its weird that i wait til midnight to start doing my homework and must have itunes, the internet AND timtams by my side before i start? oh well..

today was a bloody long day in school. started at 9 and ended at 6.15...woke up late and had no time for breakfast, so stopped to get coffee from union house before going for physics. can i just say that i love the guy who runs the italian place in union? he's a total 50yr old latin lover wannabe, who compliments EVERY GIRL who walks in, but i don't care. i love him anyway. and he makes the best.coffee.ever. its very nice to go talk to him when nobody else is around in the morning.had bio prac which was really fun. we had this CSI type of thing...they gave us a murder case and 4 suspects...and evidence obtained from 4 suspects, along with their testimonies and our task was to find out whodunnit. and they all had weird plant related names like paul encell (pollen cell :S). can i just say that botany is the most boring thing EVER? and i think my lecturer is a drug pusher on the side. he seems to know an AWFUL LOT about cannabis. like how this much number of plants will produce this much amount of drugs for consumption and whats the perfect fertilizer to use etc etc...hahaha...the lt was in stunned silence for half a minute when he started his cannabis talk, then this nervous laughter started breaking out. aiyoh, damn weird la...not like uni profs need extra $$ and have to resort to this kind of thing right?? wtf...

had another weird thought. that day i walked by and smiled at this professor who had given a guest bio lecture early in the year. and he's a NOBEL PRIZE WINNER...like what the hell...the closest i'd ever got to an award winning teacher was my asshole of a tamil teacher in sec2 who wanted us to nominate him for Singapore's Best Tamil Teacher Award....and now i'm walking past a NOBEL LAUREATE....hello how bloody out of this world is that? and my chem lecturer plus my bio tutor have both won other awards in their particular fields but ask students to call them by their first names...haha..its a culture shock.

ok i give up on this bloody phys tut...its pointless..nobody does it anyway.and nobody talks in my class either.

ok its 110am now..i'm tired. i hate physics. i need food. and im already looking forward to tmr morning's coffee...how much of a caffeine addict am i right about now? a big one. to the point where i just have to smell coffee and i get happy.oh well, at least i'm not addicted to cannabis.

okaaaay i've been trying to dl this song since forever and a day ago...finally i have it. yay. its the most uplifting song i've heard in a while.

ok last week passed really fast.

had my first test on friday. everyone was panicking about this phys test and about how they dint study and ppl were preparing cheat sheets...even saw one guy crossing himself and praying before they gave out the papers...and it turned out to be.....12 measly mcq questions. haha...ok it took like 10 mins to do and is worth 3 1/3 % of our final grade...but hey, every mark counts.

friday night was the night market...went just to eat ramli burger, laksa and drink bandung...but it rained SO BADLY...i was drenched and looked so horrible...and of course there was the highly disturbing incident under Raymond Priestly building...which left melissa laughing at me...thanks a lot!! hahaha. it was creepy then but its funny now.

we couldnt tahan the rain after a while and the market wasnt that great...so we trooped over to Brunetti's which is fast becoming mine and melissa's friday night hangout (twice in 3 weeks!!)...and i tried the raspberry chocolate mousse..wah lao its DAMN good. and the hot chocolate...its like they melted a block of Godiva into a mug.

there was a black out around 10plus...went home around 11 to discover that my apartment block was affected. so 3 hours with no power and no internet...bummer.

saturday i had vietnamese food with the sister and HK. not bad la...a good dose of chili and all was well. went back to HK's place to watch him kick his room mates out...it was highly underwhelming! haha...but he made up for it by cooking fried rice for us.

sunday i just spent at home. it was too cold to go out. and today, after school, i spent the evening looking for Ari's textbooks and downloading like 30 songs...all thanks to Karn!! haha...but its ok..i always enjoy my convos with him and he always recommends good songs. i try to reciprocate but I JUST DONT HAVE AS MANY SONGS AS HIM. was telling him about school and he was telling me about going to taiwan. haha my advice to him was to bring wet wipes.

its 830 in the morning. how weird is it that i'm blogging? hahaha.

kimi raikkonen won the aussie grand prix. i could hear the engines going from my house. it was pretty cool. and kimi looked good. :D

yesterday myself and 2 other girls were trying to explain the differences between boys and girls to our clueless male friend. haha it was pretty hilarious to see. he suggested that he get out a notepad and take some of the things we were saying down. siao.

ezzah has shocked us all again by posting another picture of an UGLY ASS boy on her blog. i dunno where she finds these mutant lookalikes. there's really NOT ONE redeeming feature about this new one. she needs to come to melbourne NOW to see what a hot guy really is.

yesterday bio prac was an independant learning task, where you go to the com lab, do this computer program, answer some questions then leave. it's supposed to take between 60 and 90 mins. i took 30. i get a bit nervous when this happens cos i think that i'm not doing enough, or i missed a huge chunk of questions or something, but i really only took half an hour. so i had 3.5 hours free after that. went to get my new visa with the permission to work, where i met a very nice postgrad student who was telling me about dubai, cos my dad might be moving there.

!!!

cant say whether i'm happy or sad about that. new york is my favourite city on this planet and i've loved it every single time i've gone there, but dubai sounds really interesting as well. so i dunno. its all a bit soon tho. my dad told me the news a week ago and he's gonna move in april. damn. i wanted to see NY one more time in the summer. oh well. i suppose i can go to dubai now in australia's summer, cos its supposed to be nice in the mideast in december. and i've always wanted to fly on Emirates. we'll see how it goes.

man u are thru to the semi-final of the FA Cup, after a 1-0 victory over middlesborough, courtesy of a ronaldo penalty. the stupid interviewer kept alluding to the fact that cristiano dove to earn the penalty, but ronaldo managed to keep his cool...good for him. and the boro management suck. they were actually shouting at ronaldo that he's a cheat. i hate gareth southgate.

ok time to stop ranting. time for breakfast. and a bath. and coffeeeeeeeee. i'm so tired.

how is it that this song never gets annoying?

its 930 on sunday morning. usually i would be sleeping, but i slept so much yesterday that no matter how much i snuggle in bed, sleep wont come. and i've run out of milk, which means i cant have cereal this morning. :(

its been a busy busy week. i just seem to be running around school all the time...and then when i come home i'm too tired to do much more than homework.

i've concluded that the coffee served at the italian place in union house is the best on my side of campus. cheap(relatively), good and the guy who makes it is really nice and funny. we had a great 10 minute convo once when i was the lone person alive in school at 745am.

the first cycle of lectures is coming to a close, and many of my subjects are changing lecturers this week. i miss my bio and earth science lecturers. they were nice, and gave excellent notes. the new guys....not so much. i will REALLY miss my chem lecturer tho. damn. dont want him to leave.

phys prac was so dumb on tuesday and it took so bloody long. was rushing abit cos i had plans with gaya to go eat dumplings after that and i needed to go put my stuff at home. it was such a pointless prac. seriously.

i think i finally did well in bio prac. yay! i could see what i was supposed to see and it all turned out good and my prac teacher is the nicest guy. i hate my partner tho. i much prefer talking to the girl on the other side of me. my prac partner is pretty useless.

finally went to st.kilda on friday night...which is the place where the beach is. went with melissa, val and this other girl named Shari. the beach is really beautiful, with the wind and the water and the last part of sunset, which we managed to catch by some stroke of luck. the only scary part was finding jellyfish scattered along the shore. and they were BIG...i'm never swimming or even walking into those waters. all the walking made us pretty hungry so we walked around the main street and found this restaurant that was serving all main courses for 15 bucks with a complementary local beer or house wine. so obviously we jumped at the chance. i had lamb which was so bloody good it nearly brought tears to my eyes. hahaha....shari got slightly tipsy on her ONE GLASS of wine...and val got all red the moment she started drinking her beer. haha...very funny to watch. we planned to go check out another place in the city, but we missed the tram stop, so instead had a nice ride just talking and talking and talking. it was a nice friday night.

watched aussie grand prix qualifying on sat morning. KIMI took pole. how awesome is that?? so today im gonna have lunch with gaya, do my shopping then come home quick to watch. i hope he wins i hope he wins i hope he winsssssssssssss.

eeeew man u drew with boro. bastard defending i tell you. we gifted them two goals. managed to follow barca-madrid on gamecast before i had to go out. it ended 3-3. madrid really should have done better cos barca only had 10 men...but that lionel messi..he got a hattrick.

k enough football..i know most of the ppl who're reading wont appreciate this.

friday was my first chem prac. it was so disgusting to wear those monster goggles. anyway, the prac was a simple titration. we were given 3 hours to do it. i took 1.5...and i left early, wondering why nobody else was done. i was only the 2nd to leave i think...and i was doing mine really slowly, chatting with the girl next to me and the guy across me, who dumped the indicator into his standard solution of NaOH, instead of into the HCl...meaning he had to start everything again. poor thing. we got a good laugh out of it tho. he was so scared of making another mistake that he asked my partner to put the indicator for him after that! ha.

went out that night with melissa. we walked around crown but all the food was so ex, so we went to look for someplace to eat along the river. found an irish pub but got turned away cos melissa dint have ID on her...haha but no matter, it gave us the opportunity to go try Nando's, which is this fast food joint that sells chicken. and after that we had fabulous dessert at this place called Brunetti's....i tell youuuuuu my God my cappucino cake was so yummyyyyy...as was her chocolate mousse. that was also the night of the champions league draw. its as follows:

man u vs roma
ac milan vs bayern munich
liverpool vs psv
chelsea vs valencia

im looking forward to this one. anyway, when melissa's bro messaged her the draw, we were talking so excitedly about it, and suddenly this chinese(obviously singaporean) guy at the next table asked us "EXCUSE ME is that the champions league draw??" like damn excitedly. haha his gf dint seem too happy that he wasnt focussing his undivided attention on her. oh well.

was planning to do my homework on saturday...but met my sis for lunch. dint expect to stay out so long...only came home around 7. so no hw. but i did finally get to see college square. i dunno if i wanna move there next year. i think its further from school than where i am now. if i can find someone to share with (HINT HINT EZZAH!!!) then i'll consider, cos it'll be to expensive otherwise.

had some tasty italian food for lunch with my sis and hasseeb. spent a few hours at his house playing cards, watching funny videos...and doing other dumb stuff...went out for gelato after that, and grocery shopping. it was fun. even the grocery shopping.

got up early this morning to meet gaya and her teacher for lunch. yum cha is what it's called. basically a chinese tradition of eating dim-sum-ish dishes and drinking chinese tea. haha the food was gooooooood...and they had real honest-to-goodness chili...YAY!oh and another thing. I ORDERED MY HARRY POTTER BOOK! haha...apparently i'll get a free soft-toy owl as well..which i dont really care for, but whatever. i think i only have to pay 30 bucks. july 21st...that's like a 131 days away...what if i'm not here....oh wait no, second semester starts on 23rd july...so i'll def be back by 21st, if i DO go home, which is not confirmed. i dont think i will. ive been on too many trips this past year.

i really should stop leaving my homework til sundays. not good. gotta print chem worksheet, do it, do online chem tut and prac hw PLUS do bio tut and print earth science notes. add that to laundry and you get my regular sundays. managed to finish it all in good time which is nice. used my time pretty efficiently if i do say so myself. managed to cook , bathe, go downstairs and do laundry and then come up and fold said clean laundry all in the space of 90 mins! made the mistake of not putting on proper clothes when going to do my laundry. wore my ratty tanktop and shorts(that i sleep in) down to the basement...and had to endure an embarassing ride in the elevator with some guy i'd never seen before. i was trying to use my laundry bag to hide my bare legs which were clad in small ratty shorts that look like if you blew on them, they'd tear.

WHY WONT MY BLOODY PHYS NOTES PRINT??!! oh wait yes they will. :D

2007-03-07T18:09:00.000-08:00

i am sitting infront of the computer with the world's biggest and best tasting chocolate chip muffin at my side. seriously ya'll...this thing is almost the size of my face! but it tastes so good that i'm having absolutely no trouble finishing it.

have spent the last few days doing the coffee survey. basically every day i go to a different place that sells coffee on campus and get a medium cappucino with one sugar...just to compare. got 2 more places to go and then i'll release my findings. haha. i decided to just try the ones on the science side of campus...cos frankly...i never go to the arts side and i wouldnt go all the way there just to get a coffee when all my classes are on the other side of campus in an 800m radius.

today morning was man u vs lille. we won thanks to a wonderful run from ronaldo and a great header from larsson, on his last appearance at old trafford. so it was nice. final 8 for the champions league...

ac milan, bayern munich, chelsea, liverpool, man united, psv eindhoven, roma, valencia.

i hope we draw valencia, roma or psv in the next round...and that ac milan and chelsea draw each other.

met my physics tutor today...he's a masters student. i swear to God when i came into the class and saw him writing on the board...i was thinking 'who's this arrogant prick that finished all his work and decided to write the answers on the board before the teacher came in?"

haha dont blame me...my bio and chem tutors are old....and earth science as well. how was i supposed to know...but anyway, he's nice. dint recognize anyone in phys tut except for one guy who's in my bio prac...but i suppose over time i might get to know some of them. not that it actually bothers me.

ok the muffin's all gone...and that means it's time for me to end this lunch break and get ready for my next class....effing 3 hour earth science tutorial. THREE HOURSSSSSSSSSS....i remember triple chem in TJ...i think it'll be something like that.

whoo its a good day. woke up late in the morning. went for the ferrari F1 carnival. i saw the formula1 ferrari car up close...it whizzed past me like 12 times...it was breathtaking...and this coming from someone who doesnt even love F1 that much. took a shit load of photos of the other ferrari road cars on display and tons of videos of the racing car driving past. i should get pratap's email address and send him the stuff i've got. he would get such a kick out of it. i wanted to buy a model racing car for him...but it was 130 bucks...i figure a picture of the real thing might be enough.

ya so after hanging around taking videos...hoping my future husband had a car like some of those i saw...came home to rest and evaluate whether i was sun burnt or not.

melissa messaged me to ask whether i wanted to go with her and her sis to watch the match tonight. i jumped at the chance...not sure my stream is working...was gonna try again later...but if i can go somewhere fun and watch...why not.

ok actually this entry is pointless. i dont have much to say. i wanted to post the ferrari pics...but blogger's being a bitch to me as usual.

results are in 17 hours. i cannot sleep. no matter how much i want to.

sometimes i wont think about it for a couple of hours(like today when i went to visit my sis). and then it'll pop into my head suddenly and i'll feel like all my internal organs have been liquified and are dropping straight through me.

its 0037hrs and i have a class in 7 and a half hours. i don't know how i'll concentrate in it. the worst thing is that i have a 4 hour break between classes tomorrow. and i'll be going crazy. i planned it so that i'll have to spend some time tmr running some errands. but they wont take up even half of that time.

i'm trying to listen to some soothing music, but this ball of nerves in my stomach refuses to go away. its not so much disappointing myself...God knows i've had to deal with that before. its about not wanting to disappoint my parents. i dont want them to have to go to school and try and hide their disappointment in front of staff or anyone who's around...and then get angry but pretend to be supportive because they're worried about what i'll do to myself here alone if they think i'm upset or scared. from a personal point of view...i dont really care what my results are. i mean of course i want to do well...but it wont be the end of the world for me if i dont. but i dont want my parents to have to deal with nosy relatives and friends and their own disappointment. gosh i'm using that word alot. and i dont want to have to deal with going to school or my parents calling me up everyday for the next week if i dont do well to check up on me, when i'll much prefer to stew in my own misery for a while.

on some weird note, i somehow wish i could be in school. so i can get my results first...accept it, then tell my parents.i am DREADING the phone call tmr where the callerID will flash my mother's number. and also i want to be there to support friends and be supported...because it makes it a little easier when there's someone next to you clutching your hand and you know that they, like you, are just trying not to puke their guts out and praying for the little slip of paper to tell them they've not completely fucked up their life.

it's so pointless to look back and regret now. but i do. So God, help me out. give me decent grades, more for my parents than for myself, and give my friends the grades that they want.

good luck to everyone...and let's stick by each other no matter what happens.

np: clint mensall - marion barfs

so...after 3 months of holiday...it's finally time to get back into the mundane world of academics. well so far my lectures have been pretty interesting...chem tut is in this amazing room with lcd tv screens and computers...i love it! and i know someone in my chem tut..so that's good...in fact i know someone in almost all my classes so far. bio lab was traumatic...considering i couldnt see shit in the microscope for the first half an hour...and i dint get my bio book til today so i couldnt do any of the pre reading...so i dint know what the hell a vacuole or a...ok i cant even remember what else now... it was bad...not to mention the fact that the scottish guy across the table from me was a bloody bio genius and knew everything...i looked in his microscope twice to figure out what i was supposed to be looking at...HAHA oh well..it can only go up from here i guess..and most of my table mates havent done bio before...so we're all in the same boat. one guy dint have ANYTHING ready.

earth science is turning out to be pretty darn interesting. especially since one of my lecturers is young and hot...to the point where i might change my second semester subject to be lectured more by him! hahaha ok no in the end i know i wont...but he's cute...and married. lol. wanna know what's the biggest volcano in the entire solar system?? it's mount olympus on mars. 22km tall and 550km across...for reference sake, everest is 8km high. yeah i'm gonna shut up now...i know nobody's interested.

i think i'm gonna spend this entire weeked reading my bio textbook...and doing physics. my physics lecturer is a maniac. he kicked 3 guys out of the front door of the lt and told them to come thru the back door cos they were 5 mins late...and then told another latecomer that she lost 2 brownie points..strange but true. he gave us an example to complete the last lecture and today asked who hadnt even looked at it....and this bunch of guys sitting at the back just raised their arms like it was no big deal...hahaha nobody in singapore would have dared to do that la...i couldnt help but laugh. not that i did the example...or raised my hand for that matter.

man u beat reading this morning in the FA cup...3 goals in the first 6 mins..how awesome is that? but it turned into a pretty shitty performance after that. not at all manchester united standard...kieran richardson should just go boil his head.

ok its time for heroes. mohinder yum yum..and peter petrelli can fly off with me anydayyyyy...after not seeing him on gilmore for so long...i'd kinda forgotten how absolutely delicious milo ventimiglia is...except that he's short...but what's new...hot guys always have flaws. its also time for me to put my printer to work and print out 3 lectures worth of earth science notes...ooh and chem as well...shithead.

np: evanescence - call me when you're sober

2007-02-22T00:44:00.000-08:00

np: hanson - if only

ok i know some people are totally gonna laugh at me for saying this, but i think hanson are one of the most underrated bands around. i know mmmbop was a piece of shit, but other than that, they are exceptionally talented. ok go on, laugh.

anyway, last time i blogged it was monday night. so we shall proceed with tuesday, which was the day for student host groups...which is basically an orientation group led by a senior student who would be considered an OGL i guess. so my host was a fifth year named rhianna...and she was the sweetest girl. and bloody tall too. so about 9 of us were assigned to her and we went around to faculty intro sessions, libraries, science buildings, com labs...basically everything we would need to know in first year. and she gave us good tips on where to get second hand stuff...which has already proved useful. i got my chem textbooks second hand for 90 bucks instead of the normal 250.

wednesday was no more host group...but a bunch of us who met in host group went around for subject information sessions together. there was a really funny incident around 4pm where one guy discovered that he had to go for a placement interview for his introductory chinese class, which he dint know about...so it was a mad scramble across campus to get there in time...haha ok it was quite funny in a heart-pounding-shit-i'm-gonna-die-if-i-miss-this kinda way.

today was clubs and societies day...and also the day i finally finished my enrolment and got my student ID and insurance card. finallyyyyyyyyy i've been fretting about this since friday. ya so anyway, clubs and societies...seeing as how i have to absolutely ACE first year, i dint join anything cos i wanna see what my workload is like first...but i did join SINGAPORE STUDENTS SOCIETY!! haha ok it sounds lame but there's a free barbeque and all sorts of get togethers...and hello, if there's a chance of eating singaporean food.... I AM SO IN!

speaking of food, i'm tired of instant noodles, pasta and bread. i really need something spicy. so this weekend i'm gonna go to the supermarket and see what i can find. maybe an instant tom yam soup or curry or something. if all else fails, i'm buying some chili padi and throwing it into everything i cook. especially the bloody instant noodles...which is not nearly half as tasty as cup noodles back home. i swear to God, Bedok South Road hawker centre has spoilt me for life. good food that is bloody cheap.

ok i'm craving sushi now...i have no idea why. maybe tmr i'll go and sample the sushi bar in school. its called plush fish...ha.

ooh sandhya daahling...john mayer will be in melbourne on 1st november...in st kilda...no idea how to get there...or how ex the tix are...but they're selling awfully fast...everywhere else is sold out...AND I CANT GET TO THE TICKETING WEBSITE....the internet is a bitch.

in other news...man u drew with reading in the FA cup...sigh that's highly disappointing...

and then they beat lille in the champs league...pretty rubbish game with a rubbish pitch...but one piece of brilliance by ryan giggs....have i mentioned that i love ryan giggs...and that we have the same birthday...well i'll say it again. for the 284739852749651 th time... I LOVE RYAN GIGGS AND I AM SO HONOURED THAT WE SHARE BIRTHDAYS! anyway, the lille players threatened a walk off...which i thought is something that only happens in lao ya competitions like ASEAN championships...but apparently not. and the police used tear gas on united supporters...cos some french bastard messed up the ticketing, and let too many united fans into too small a section of the stands. so when united fans climbed a fence to escape, police feared a pitch invasion and used tear gas. did they learn NOTHING from heysel and hillsborough? french bastards. hate them all.

ok enough ranting. its time to watch lost. that show has really lost the plot (pun FULLY intended)....but im watching it cos sawyer is the hottest thing on tv tonight.

2007-02-19T01:29:00.000-08:00

np: PCD - wait a minute

ok my com has been wonky all day...i'm not sure why. it'll suddenly hang and just conk out. i've restarted it like 10 times. creepy. anyway, today was a busy day. went to school for the health and safety talk in the morning to find out where the school clinic was. basket it's not in campus la, its like 2 streets away. its near the supermarket which i went to check out yesterday. i GUZZLE milk i tell you. i buy it one day and 3 days later its gone.

ya anyway, back on track, health and safety talk. there were reps from the clinic, insurance company, counselling service, student union and get this, the POLICE...ya they actually sent a senior constable(or some weird rank like that) over to talk to us. and there was this QnA where you could write your question anonymously on a piece of paper and submit it to any presenter...and somebody asked the cop: "IS MARIJUANA ILLEGAL?" all together now:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

i cant believe he asked a POLICEMAN that...the cop was so funny. this was his answer:

"Um, yes marijuana, like other drugs is illegal...if you're caught with a small amount, and its your first time....then we may let you off with a caution....(pause while the cop considers that this statement basically sounds like a go ahead)....but it's illegal. i mean...don't do it. if you're caught with more than a certain amount, you face charges and jail time..."

it was really so funny...the cop KNOWS so many ppl on campus do it and 1 eye is closed towards it and he cant do anything about it, but he has to lay down the rules anyway. then somebody else asked him whether it was legal to drink in parks...it's not, in case you were wondering.

new knowledge that i aquired yesterday. washing clothes in your toilet is BASTARD BACK BREAKING WORK! cotton doubles its weight the MOMENT it gets wet. i had to bring my computer chair to the toilet so i could sit down. thats how much my back was complaining. i dunno how my mother managed to wash QUILTS by hand. new respect for that woman i tell you.

today i took the train to chadstone, which is basically the vivocity of melbourne. fricking huge shopping centre. the trainride was so nice. its not like mrt when you just zoom overhead b/w stations and dont see shit. this one is actually an on the ground...proper seats...passing thru towns kinda ride.and guess what i passed? this will make aga happy. i passed MELBOURNE PARK! rod laver arena and vodafone arena where all the huge australian open games are played. ok seriously i nearly hyperventilated...i was digging thru my bag for my phone to take a pic but i couldnt get it fast enough.to think i was like 800m away from where andy roddick and marat safin were standing...HAHA i sound mad...probably looked mad on the train too but who cares.

so shopping lunch shopping shopping coffee....fast forward 3 hours and it was time to leave cos my sis had some orientation shit going on in her dorm. so i took the train back...got off at flinders street station which is almost as pretty as Grand Central in Manhattan and New Haven in Connecticut...and that's saying something.

decided that since it was a nice day, not too hot, and with a little wind, that i would walk over to melbourne central and take the tram home from there, giving me a chance to explore swanston street (one of the main streets in the city) a bit. so i was walking walking walking and suddenly this sign "DIRT CHEAP CDs"

my mind screamed "DETOUR" and i practically jumped thru the door. the owner of the store looked like a rapist/druggie/serial killer but his shop was fricking cool la. they had old music, new music, dvds, tv series....everything...and everything under 20 bucks ok....CDs were TEN BUCKS!! for new stuff too. so i grabbed 'parachutes' by coldplay, an album that i have always wanted to listen too, but never had the money(20 bucks for a CD never seemed worth it) or time to download it. so i got it...and its a nice album. pretty darn nice.

so armed with my 2 tees from chadstone, and my CD from the shop, i walked further on to Victoria State Library, which is a really pretty building that i've been wanting to go into since i first saw it. bloody hell it was damn damn boring inside la...i couldnt find a fiction section. apparently its not the national library i'm used to.

ok just heard on the radio that PINK is coming to melbourne. as are fall out boy, john mayer, and the dave matthews band. if i had money i would SO go for john mayer. that guy is KING of emo guitar music.

i wanna go watch a Melbourne Victory game. they're the local football team here and they just won the Australian league.big celebration party in the city today...i practically ran to the train station to avoid the crowds. anyway, they play at telstra dome, a stadium i've wanted to see since the rugby world cup in 2003.

in other news. britney spears shaved her head.........OMGGGGGG what is she up to ah? she's really gone round the bend.

ok this radio station 101.9 is pretty darn cool. the morning show is hilarious. one of the guys bet how long lindsay lohan wld be in rehab for. he lost and now he has to wear a skirt for the rest of the week. heehee. they're really naughty and funny la. anyway, i'm off. i wanna give my com a break, or it might explode.

np: Bob Sinclair - rock this party. ok i love this song. just makes me wanna jump around my room.

2007-02-17T02:58:00.000-08:00

np:Nickelback - Saving me.

ok i dont care if my neighbours get pissed off but i've been blasting music all night. this is for all the evenings when i couldnt watch tv cos some asshole is vacuuming his carpet next door and the vacuum cleaner is louder than a jet taking off...

anyway, found this funny list. i guarantee you any singaporean will find 80% true.at least.

You know you've been in Singapore too long when:

1. You know what "queue","handphone","tissue paper" means!!

2. Your idea of a good night out consists of having dinner at a hawker centre, drinking beer, and then going to another hawker centre and eating again.

3. "Crossing the country" means taking the MRT to the end of the line.

4. You wear winter clothes indoors and summer clothes outdoors.

5. Durian and belachan no longer stink to you.

6. You're not confused by a street naming system that locates streets like Clementi Road, Clementi Street, Clementi Crescent, Clementi Lane, Clementi Drive, Clementi Way, and Clementi Avenues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 all within walking distance of each other.

7. No matter what you're doing at the moment, you'd rather be shopping.

8.Chewing-gum?

9. You think a bus is incomplete without a TV.

10.taking out your car keys when you finish parking to start popping the parking coupons with the time at which you arrived has become close to a reflex.

11.You know your way through newton circus how to find a table and know which stand has the cheapest nasi goreng or carrot cake.

12. Two words: ORCHARD ROAD <3

13.Cheeky Monkey was your first clubbing experience

14.The following make sense to you (not sure bout the spelling but that’s how it sounds when spoken)

-Yesterday, dey go there oreddy
-"Wah lan eh! How can you do this sort of thing to me?"
-"Eh, we all saw you take his wallet. Don't come and wayang, okay?"
-"How come you borrow my shirt now got hole one?!"
-Not good one lah.

np: all saints - chick fit

alrighty ppl i'm back. yesterday i cooked my own dinner. haha pasta and soup. and it turned out pretty ok if i do say so myself. but note to self, always cook pasta first...and let it drain COMPLETELY before adding soup. haha ok dont laugh at me, it was the first time i was cooking in such a small kitchen...i barely had space to move. my stove gets RED HOT when i cook on it. i was so scared it wld start sparking and start a fire or something.

yesterday was the first official day of orientation. not much, just international student briefing for one hour. they talk a lot of rubbish. the only important part was...'go to your faculty information session to enrol'...after that it was all road safety blah blah university sports and recreation blah blah student union blah blah.

i think i might join union. 24 bucks per month but you get like half price food at union house and free rental of dvds, books and music from the union library.

just came back from school. faculty intro session. gotta go back at 2.30 for my enrolment appointment. by right i should be reading thru my enrolment package and filling out the forms...but i'm a procrastinator...and anyway i've got like 2.5 hours to do it. but i have to look over which subjects to do. pretty standard la, bio, chem and phys..but i dunno which electives to choose...maybe geography? i really dun wanna do maths again. REALLY! it's got statistics...i'll go mad if i have to do binomial and poisson and watever other shit again. i wonder if i'll still be able to keep up in geography after a 2 year hiatus. i'll ask for advice at my enrolment meeting.

anyway, glad to hear that everyone had a good(satisfactory at least) valentines. mine was spent with my dad...which is prob better than any loser boy...me, him and my sis went to this jap restaurant for dinner in the city. not bad. but the portions are fricking big i cant finish anything.

i hear xunny is doing a cross-stitch for society, who is in the jungle. um...a cross-stitch. interesting. and very un-xunny...but love does funny things to people...so good luck with it dearest.dint we do some sort of cross-stitch in sec 1 home econs...scary. and the disgusting napkin. i sewed 2 sides of my napkin together somehow, if i remember correctly. not a good time in my life, that one.

the atm machine in uni makes a hell of a lot of noise when you use it. its quite embarassing actually. its really high-pitched beeping.

tv here is pretty darn good. especially channel 7. on wednesday nights it's heroes, prison break and 24 all in a row. then thurs night is LOST season 3...and sundays its ugly betty then grey's anatomy season 3. hello how cool is that??? i'm not moving from my bed la(it doubles as my couch) the tv is too good. plus the cost is worked into my rent, so i dont have to pay extra to watch as much as i want.

ok i keep trying to load pics but it doesnt work. sorry guys you're gonna have to wait a little longer.

i think i should turn off my aircon. i'm scared of my electricity bill. its funny how now i'll ask myself. ' do i really need this light to cook' or 'do i really need to on this light when i'm watching tv?' or ' should i just turn off the bathroom light when i'm bathing' even tho its damn dark in the toilet.

i should go fill out all my forms now. love you all.

np: clay aiken - a thousand days

Thurs: seafood dinner with old neighbours. Awesome pepper crab.but we had to wait 1 hour plus for the food…not too great service.

Fri: woke up thinking that I was gonna have a simple sleepover at jemima’s house that night. Packed, wore some ratty tee and jeans, dint comb my hair. Met mich at serangoon mrt…where she said she was hungry so why don’t we go to central and buy bread. So we did. Walked to jema’s house…where I saw Justin lim and chai yun standing at the stairs….it was a fricking surprise party and EVERYONE was there!!i cant remember if I screamed or not but I was definitely shocked. My friends are so sneaky I tell you.

Aga, bob, Arlene, chai yun, Arvin, Jason, mat, da J, donna, Erick, YG, Eugene, huiying, nav, Jolene, chestine, anita, ezzah, ethel, grace, xunny, belle, qua, sally, mich jema. It was nice having all my friends in one place.and jon called from camp, that sweetheart. And I’m so touched that they bothered to organize something for me. I wanna say thanks and that I love ALL OF YOU!!! And your gifts were beautiful. The chocolates, cards, 3 pairs of earrings, one ring, 2 posters, 1 banner, 1 amazing calendar and class picture…and of course…Arvin…your necklace.my first ever diamond!! I haven’t taken it off since. Thanks bitch.

It was really out of this world. I dunno if they know how much I appreciate it. I almost cried but I dint!! Achievement in itself. Stayed over at jema’s with grace xunny and mich. Talked, dozed off, talked some more and don’t forget the classic video of xun-ai dancing. Classic. I’ll hold it over her head forever... Had a mac’s breakfast then went home.

That night I had dinner with my relatives. Not very happening la, but nice seeing them nonetheless…got some money, an organizer and LONELY PLANET AUSTRALIA!! Haha ok it’s quite useful actually.

Saturday morning I went to temple and it hit me that this was my last day in Singapore…and I don’t know when I’m coming back. It was sobering. Spent the afternoon frantically finishing my packing. Was a little late getting to the airport. Aga was already there….and I tell you, she made the most beautiful scrap book ever. Bob made me cookies!! Nice choco chip cookies.the apus gave me a really pretty notebook with individual notes inside. Jason and sean came and gave me a fork and spoon…and a note. I’m not kidding. Haha. I’ve been ordered to use it. And pten…ever the comediennes…got me a little fan with their baby pictures on it. They left one empty spot for me.

I couldn’t help but cry when I left. I always couldn’t wait to get out of Singapore…but then when the time came, I just wanted to stay. Guess everyone feels this way. At least my friends will all still be around. And with the wonders of technology, we have MSN, blogs and webcams.

My dorm room is the tiniest room I’ve ever lived in. from the door to the back wall, its EIGHT steps. That’s right EIGHT…but I managed the space as best I could and tried to cheer up the place with my personal effects and stuff from my old room…plus of course my new gifts.

I’m bored now in my room as the tv has no sports channel so I think I’ll go charge my camera, load some photos and update my ipod.

By the way, my campus is quite pretty. I’ll try taking some pics of it and posting it here. Thanks again to all my wonderful friends for the past week. It made going away a lot more fun… especially now that I have so many things to remember you guys by…and ya’ll BETTER BE ONLINE EVERY NIGHT...

2007-02-07T21:22:00.000-08:00

my hair smells of cigarettes, as do my jeans and my eyeliner refuses to be completely washed off. my throat is sore, i have a festering blister inbetween my toes and 2 of my toenails are broken due to trampling elephants in clarke quay. every time i go clubbing i say i wont go again because, although its fun when you're in the club, the after effects arent as good. but it was my last chance to party before i leave so what the hell.

was at sand's house before that for her bday. camwhoring laughing eating talking. the normal things that happen when cedarians get together.

dint go to mcdonald's with the rest after clarke quay, but i hear there was an interesting story involving 20000yen, some young white punk and a vulgar, yet helpful ah beng. HA!

instead i went home to watch the england match which was a complete waste of time and i fell asleep after 10 minutes. mclaren's gonna get fired. yessssssssss.

AH i havent packed la bugger.the only thing i've put in my suitcases are towels and winter clothes. not too good.

seafood dinner tonight. heaven.

bluffmaster OST - bure bure

this song is addictive.the best bollywood song i've heard in a while (after beedi that is). is it even in hindi??

anyway...got back from the motherland (India, for those who dont know) this morning after a crappy flight where i couldnt sleep and all the men were drinking whiskey like it was water, sleeping with their head and feet blocking the isles and messing up the toilet...inconsiderate beings. all spoilt by their mothers when they were young.

so anyway...the motherland. sort of rocked actually. it was better than i expected. THERE WAS HOT WATER IN THE VILLAGE, PEOPLE!!! bloody hot water that scalded me every morning actually. the temple was really nice and the priest was so funny and sweet. he kept making fun of the fact that i couldnt speak the language. saturday night was the big prayer. it was...an experience, to put it lightly. its not every day you get to talk to God. it made up for the waking up at 4am every morning. and all the ladies who love to cook and feed me and laugh at my lack of malayalam (my mother tongue) speaking skills.village people who arent wealthy but love to share what they have(especially FOOD). its great. saw 5 elephants, around 30 cows, even more goats and like, 497693847762835 chickens.and dont forget the temple dog who only eats white rice and fruit!! hahaha. i love him. he's so cute.

got a new phone. its pretty. i love it. i reeeeeeeeeeeally love it.

sandhya's dad is throwing her a party on the night we were all supposed to go out. which means we cant buy her a cake as her bday present. navleen views this as a great tragedy HAHA. ok sandhya i love you. you're getting a present, i promise!!

man u beat tottenham 4-0 last night. how cool is that? i couldnt watch cos i was on the plane. but apparently the goals were great and ronaldo looked hot. and john o shea was a successful replacement goalie.i cant wait for the repeat telecast at 1pm today.

singapore won the Asean football championships. somehow that doesnt have as nice a ring to it as "TIGER CUP". but anyway...good for the lions, its pretty much the only thing they can win anyway. righty-ho i'm off to take a shower.

and ezzah: RIPPEDINTOPIECES!!! yes thank you. i knew it was ripped something but i couldnt remember what!

ok so its my first post with the new blogger. according to the sister, the new blogger's much better. we shall see. havent explored the dashboard yet.

been downloading song after song after song for my mother. her list contains 116. my sister and i have barely achieved half. its horrible. her songs are so old. nobody shares them anymore and i cant find them.

thaipusam tonight. going to india tmr.

ok actually i dont have much to say. my dad's home, so that's fun. and man u beat portsmouth. and i just watched a man u video about the 99 champs league final that almost made me cry.

and i've been eating so much vegetarian food that i'm about to become a vegetable. the veggies are also causing me to make lame jokes like that. from the 5th onwards i'm going out everyday and eating meat...

decided to start packing up my room today. its amazing how much junk one person can collect in 7 years. advice to sandhya: you should start packing your room NOW! you have 19 years of stuff to sift thru. it's not pretty.

i've only gone thru my book shelf and desk and already i've got 3 bags of rubbish. oh plus i threw out my TJ uniform and almost screamed hallelujah. ok i kept ONE polo tee...but the rest went in the trash.

oh and i know my layouts different and my links to other blogs are gone. that's cos im really bad at html and have no clue how to fit them into my new template. but rest assured...i remember your links, and i'll be visiting your blogs. except ezzah. your blog link escapes me. HAHA sorry...please message me or smth and tell me what it is. and NAVLEEN I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING KEPT OUT OF YOUR BLOG!!

ok while i'm waiting for my ugly betty episode to load...

i thought i'd fill you in on the most heartbreaking tennis match i'd ever seen. after nadal, injured, limped out of the tournament... i thought to myself...'roddick's been playing well, maybe he can pull off something special and beat federer'

no such luck. he got beaten so badly that it became painful to watch. i swear to god i was on the verge of tears. nvm, roddick never quits. will see him again at french open. ok everybody except nadal and federer sucks at french open. see him at wimbledon then.

have found a new tennis co-watcher in AGA! i never knew she watched tennis! but its great. its a nice sport and all this while i thought i was the only one of my friends who watched it.

what's with this new google-blogspot linkup thing. i've been avoiding it for so long. so today i finally got a gmail account so i can check out this new blogger. not plannin on actually using this new account cos hotmail gives a hell of a lot of space now but a new email account never hurts.

and navleen...why cant i enter your blog. is there some password or some shit. you better give it to me woman!!

i need a new phone. seriously. every time this one offs itself i cant turn it back on and have to ask my sister for help. someone tell me whats a nice nokia flip phone that is under 350 bucks please...because that's the extent of my savings that came from starving during prelims and A levels. i'm partial to the 6131 and maybe the 6125 or 7270...i was looking at the 7390, but decided no.

oh good. its 117am and my episode just finished loading. off to watch. night all.

2007-01-21T10:11:00.000-08:00

93rd minute 2-1 thierry henry that fucker scores then celebrates like the arrogant asshole that he is.game over.

I FEEL PHYSICALLY ILL I TELL YOU!!

i am so down in the dumps its not even funny. after the most perfect sporting weekend i've ever had, i really REALLY wanted man u to win. 9pt lead over chelsea. but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, we had to cock up this game just like we did at OT.

friday was safin-roddick. fab match. roddick wins. saturday- nadal wins and liverpool beat chelsea. sunday morning- roddick plays wonderful game and wins. sunday night-CATASTROPHE!!

ok so apparently david beckham is NOT making a million bucks a week. its more like 208 000 dollars a week, which is not as much as michael ballack who does absolutely nothing for his money, but its still a shit load of money.

anyhoodle, saturday was the funnest day. i thought i was gonna have a quiet afternoon with sam and ez at the study in australia fair. met sam and her friend at pasta mania. ez called to say she'd be late. so we ate first. halfway thru lunch, who should pop up but SANDHYA. apparently she was coming along and i dint know. THEN, anita called and asked where to meet! and so did navleen (who had previously ditched us for a manicure, and in the end dint come anyway, but whatever-i digress). so in the end it turned out to be a full on outing to orchard hotel, where the uni staff were abominably rude and we just went around stealing prospectus from various schools.

went to pasir ris to have a break and wait for nav and muni and look thru all the brochures we got. being the cheapos that we are, sandhya decided to call home and see if anyone could pick us up to ferry us to her house. HELLO HAVE YOU SEEN THE BUS FAIR LATELY NOW THAT WE'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STUDENT CONCESSION!!! God help you if you forget to tap out of the bus. so her brother was nice enough to come pick us up. not many ppl would come pick up their younger sister and her 6 psycho friends. so after a slightly uncomfortable ride in which navleen sat on one of my thighs and my left butt cheek was being stabbed by the seatbelt thingy(i dunno what its called la, all i know is that its really painful!) and my right arm was probably suffocating anita, we arrived.

and it was apple crumble time. ok SOME PPL dint help much at all but i helped with the pastry and apple peeling and i must say it turned out pretty darn good. so it was just a fun night of cooking, eating, camwhoring, laughing at primary school photos (HAHA) and watching movies in the dark. i must say sandhya's dad is exactly like mine. exactly...and she calls her dad 'pops' too, just like me.

sunday was my baby niece's 28th day party, which is like an indian tradition. it was all very boring. my cousins and i got evicted to the back of the house, where we managed to insult some relative. oh well, such is life.

my sis brought her bf over to the house after that. my mother was happily chatting with him without knowing the full extent of their relationship, tho i know she suspects la. she's been bugging me for answers. my sister better be nice to me for the next month or i'm spilling the beans.

and today was the mother of all failed outings. long story short, EVERYBODY pang-sehed me and sandhya and we ended up watching blood diamond all by our lonesomes. it was just us and subway. and calorie filled barley. but blood diamond is a damn good movie. it doesnt hurt that leo dicaprio looks pretty damn hot in it either. tho he's smoking like a chimney the entire time.

man u beat aston villa 3-1. this fixture is getting so old.3 times in the last month.rooney dint score. even MICHAEL CARRICK scored and rooney dint score, there's something wrong with the world. next game - arsenal at the emirates. bring it on.

ok breaking news:

david beckham is leaving real madrid to play for LA Galaxy in the US. his deal is worth 128million pounds which is 250million US dollars over 5 years. which means he will earn approximately

ONE MILLION DOLLARS A WEEK!!!!

this translates approximately to 492 000 pounds a week. let me put this in perspective for you. the highest paid footballer we can think of now would be michael ballack earning 121 000 pounds a week. beckham will earn a little more than 4 times of this.

according to forbes, the only athlete who will make more money than Beckham is Tiger Woods who makes 80million dollars a year. and even this is not confirmed, because if Beckham's endorsements are worth more than 30million, then he will leapfrog tiger woods.

i'm sorry i just had to post this, i almost fell off my chair when i read what his new deal was worth.

np: Jet - look what you've done.

rawr i have a headache. no idea why. anyway, last night was class dinner. was looking forward to steamboat but the plan changed to cafe cartel. i had pasta which tasted like chilli powder. so ya, the food wasnt great. but at least i got to see my class, boys before they go to army, and girls, before i leave for melbourne. had an especially nice football talk with aga abt larsson. speaking of football, liverpool got thrashed twice in the span of 4 days by aresnal. first time 1-3 and 2nd time 3-6. both at anfield.that's disgraceful. no other word for it.

today went out with the girls to raffles city to look for donuts at donut factory, the new donut shop. the frigging queue was 298645862916 miles long baaaaaaaaaaaasket! singaporeans and their insane love for queues and new food. ok look who's talking i was in the queue too!! but luckily for us, we had a lobang( or rather, munirah had a lobang) and in the end we only waited 10 mins for our 3 boxes of donuts.

i think i'm tired of going out la. i'm taking a 2 day break. i'll resume my activities during the weekend.

finally transferred all my songs from my com to my laptop to my ipod. and my sis gave me the new york fotos yippee!!

ok my headache's getting worse. i'm taking a panadol(or 3!! haha ok joke) and calling it a night.

watched two movies within 5 days. the holiday with nav on tuesday and fast food nation today. holiday: GOOD, fast food nation: kinda sucked. it's put me off fastfood forever. and plus it was pretty boring and gross. 2 pointless sex scenes(ok not pointless, they were there to show how one guy took advantage of women with the promise that he would get them good jobs-but the filmmaker dint have to make it quite so graphic) and a few pointless scenes of ppl trying to free cows(that dint want to be freed-the stupid things) and other ppl stumbling across the desert. had dinner with aga, bob and arlene at kenny rogers after that. great fun just sitting around and chatting. class outing next week YAY!

yeah anyway: the holiday...very nice. kate winslet and jude law were very nice to watch. cameron diaz playing the same old blonde bimbo role. she's on a fast track to having a completely one-dimensional stereotyped career.but all in all a nice movie and MUCH MORE WORTH 950 than FFN. next on the list: blood diamond. and an orlando bloom movie(forgot what its called but hey, its orlando bloom, i've got a tradition with the girls to watch his movies together) and babel the new movie with brad pitt and cate blanchett.

went back to school yesterday to hang around and eat hock seng choon fishball mee, which was as divine as usual. saw sean and arvin...talked crap, went to accompany my sis to do her mani...then came home. ok i've had a boring week la. went out everyday. job hunting with xunny, mich and jema in HMV on thurs which was really funny. aiyah, not much to say, shall not bore you with a recap. we'll talk when my life gets a bit more interesting.

np: tyler hilton - glad

things to do in the remaining one month til i go away:

1) meet up with all my friends again and again and again
2) read the inheritance of loss(which is boring according to nav) and the alchemist
3) get back 'geisha' from nav(preferably go to her house and get it HAHA)
4) pack up my room
5) see my cousins and give them my old textbooks and notes
6) update my itunes on my laptop
7) watch all the movies i can
8) eat all the local food i can
9) see my tuition teacher
10) find out where to watch man u games in melbourne.

yesterday i went for my medical checkup for my aus visa. thankfully during the urine test i was able to pee into the cup. the only other scare was my weight, which nearly made my eyes pop out. in my defense, the jeans i was wearing are heavy, i had just eaten a bowl of mee pok for lunch and i had spent the last 3 weeks eating more than usual in new york. damn i need to go running.

saw my old kindergarten buddy who's back from texas for holiday. i had no idea wat to say to him seeing how i havent seen him since i was 5, which resulted in his mother commenting how quiet i've become since she saw me last (which was the time when my head was level with her knee and i couldnt shut up). i'm not quiet. i just dont talk when i have nothing to say. plus i was tired and scared i was gonna be late for my medical.

the doctor was really friendly. i wont believe for a second that she was actually interested in what i was doing in uni, but she asked anyway. and she even said excuse me when she had to pull up my shirt to check my heartbeat. the bloody nurse in cedar just yanked my shirt up without a word.and she did some weird tapping my stomach (which i was sucking in HAHA) thing and pronounced me to be perfectly healthy. ok actually she dint say exactly that but she did say everything was normal.

went out with the girlies on tuesday. had a coffee and watched the holiday with nav first, then met sam and ez for dinner. the holiday is a nice movie. jude lawwwwwwwwwwwwwww. yum. sam told us about her interesting trip to south africa. all in all a good night, they usually are. i'm off for komala vilas buffet, which, for the non indians reading this, is an indian food joint in little india. buffet..great just what i need.

np: tyler hilton - when it comes

ok my new years eve post was kinda sad i realise. but really, i've given up hoping for the new year to be a good one. the only time that hope worked for me was in sec4. but i will make the best of 2007. i will study hard, i will exercise(hopefully), i will be a good person, and i WILL NOT(or rather refuse to) lose touch with my friends in singapore when i move to melbourne. at least my sister and sandhya will be there but i dunno when she's moving over.

and now that my parents will be living in the US, i dunno when's the next time i'll be in singapore. probably not in 2007. maybe june 2008 i'll beg my parents to let me come back here. 1 year without my friends, without a channel to watch man u, without commentating on matches and hot guys with aga, without meeting up with all my girlfriends, without seeing anyone from 1105. its a pretty scary thought. nevermind, through the wonders of the internet and webcams, hopefully my friends wont forget me. its getting a little depressing now that i only have a month here. everytime i think i cant wait to leave a school or a place, when i finally leave i feel so down.

ok this is kinda depressing. today's a happy day. i'm finally seeing navleen after about a month of no contact. that just might be the longest period i've gone wihout talking to her.i am excited. shopping and a movie. ok not so much abt the shopping part cos i blew a WHOLE LOAD of money shopping in new york over 3 weeks and will cry if i buy anything today.

i'm contemplating bringing my victoria's secret bag out today but i fear it will be too loud for the streets of singapore. like i told my cousin in new york, singaporeans arent as forgiving of weird fashion as others are. so i shall stick with my lovely gold bag.mmmmmmm my VS body lotion smells divine.rose petals.as does the perfume. it smells so good i almost dont wanna use it for fear it will finish too fast.

man u drew with newcastle yesterday. bad stuff. newcastle's makeshift defence managed to keep out saha roon ron scholes giggs everybody!!!!!! frustrating. nevermind a 7 pt(soon to be reduced to 4) lead over chelsea is still acceptable.

i swear to God my ass doubled in size over the 3 weeks i was in the states. its horrendous. i knew those belgian waffles drowned in maple syrup every morning werent good for me but they tasted oh so good. and they cost a bomb so what kind of person would i be if i dint finish the whole thing. there ARE starving ppl in africa after all.

watched the unedited video of saddam hussein's execution. not like its hard to find as its all over youtube. to watch him actually drop thru the trapdoor and see his broken neck was...disturbing to say the least. but fair trial or not, this was the man whose hand was behind thousands of murders and therefore i feel that he got what he deserved.

and now its time for me to put my face on. meeting nav in 20 mins.

ok got home this morning after a horrible flight where my light and tv dint work. 6 hours of ipod man...100+ songs. went to see the queen with mum and sis to battle jet lag. its quite nice. i wanna watch blood diamond. who wants to watch with me??

its new years eve. star wars ep3 is on tonight and i'll prob watch it. i know i have no lifeeeeeeeee.bite me.

i dont feel too optimistic abt 2007, mainly cos 2006 was a crappy year. except for san fran and new york trips, which were the highlights. oh and of course, the new epl season in which man u has totally blossomed. i just wanna do well in school in 2007. that's all i ask.

its really really hot. i swear, i could feel my hair wilting when i stepped into the aerobridge.

aiyah i have nothing to write la. i wanna sleep, but i cant cos i wanna make sure my body clock returns to normal.

np: U2 - still havent found what i'm looking for.

the cousins arrived last saturday. went with them to woodbury commons(again) and bought the coolest pair of roxy shoes. i'm in lurrrrrrve with them. also bought cool dockers shades in a very nice charcoal gray.

took the train up to connecticut to visit my cousin's uni. i passed yale on the way. both campuses are very pretty. i hope uni of melbourne is like this. lost my earring somewhere in connecticut which made me really wanna cry.

you know what else made me wanna cry? man u lost to west ham. !@#$%(%*^_$#*&$&^^

went to see the sights with the cousins like St Patrick's Cathedral, rockerfeller centre, times square, MoMA etc etc and had many nice dinners. wanted to go ice skating at central park but it was cold and expensive so we thought better of it.

today we woke up early to go see the statue of liberty. we had an option to pay $8 and actually get onto liberty island and stand next to the statue, but being the cheapo singaporeans that we all are, we took the FREE staten island ferry that passes the statue and took like 395628 pictures. at staten island, if you wanna get on the ferry back to manhatten, you have to alight walk one big round to the terminal, stand in line and get on again. instead of doing this, we, being horrible delinquents, walked to the corner and when we saw the ppl starting to get on, ran back to join the mass of ppl getting on the ferry, escaping the security guard's notice in the meantime. it was funny.

tonight my uncle and one cousin are going home and after that, i'm gonna watch my dad's hotel basketball team play. exciting stuff. hope everyone else is having an entertaining life, and 11/05, i hope ya'll have a great christmas party!

np: the fray - how to save a life

ok one reason why i wish i were back in singapore? because i NEED to watch some football. i've got major withdrawal symptoms ok??? i missed the manc derby AND chelsea vs arsenal. AND i dint know til this morning that alan curbishley is the new manager of west ham. let me tell you how football news goes in the US. in the paper, the match report on the chelsea wigan game was the size of my handphone. seriously that's how short the article is. and today, there was no football news AT ALL. unbelievable. i feel so out of the loop. and its kinda killin me. but other than that i'm loving new york as much as ever.

went to central park zoo yesterday. its nothing like singapore zoo but then again its much tinier. i love sealions can i just say that. they were so cute la. my sis was in charge of the cam so she took lots and lots of pics. my new fave animal: colobus monkeys. if you want, you can go see the pics on her blog. we were monkeying around in the gift shop as well. like taking pics with soft toys and puppets. not very mature but who cares.

i painted my toenails a wonderful red colour. they look very pretty. its unfortunate that its not summer and i have to cover my feet all the time when i go out.

watched return of the king with my dad last night. explaining the story to him and all. he kept shouting at frodo and sam: STOP LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AND FASTER GO AND DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!!! or something like that la. it was quite funny. speaking of my father, he's lost like 11 kg i think. he's looking pretty darn good.

and can i just say something about the guys in this city. even the average looking new york guy is tons better looking than 99% of tj boys. like the customs guy, the guy at the pharmacy, the policemen outside the church, the guy at the toystore, the waiter at the italian restaurant last night etc etc etc...random guys walking on the street basically, they're ALL BETTER LOOKING!!!! its very strange.

the best thing about living in a hotel when its winter: UNLIMITED HOT WATER IN THE SHOWER BAYBEEEEEEEEEE!!!

the average length of my bath nowadays: 30-45 minutes. 1 hour if i'm washing my hair. its just so nice to stand under the scalding spray, knowing that it'll never end, and come out 30 minutes later, red and wrinkled with the air all misty. i love it. too bad if i do this in singapore i'll die from heat stroke.

i wish i could go out today. the weather's beautiful. but the cousins are coming so i must stay in and wait for them.

2006-12-15T05:35:00.000-08:00

it''s 830 am in new york city, and normally i'd be sleeping, but i went to bed early last night, and even i cant sleep for more than 10 or 11 hours. anyway, i havent blogged in a while cos i've been waiting to get my own laptop and then the internet connection in my hotel room screwed up. so now, all is well: i've got my own laptop and although the internet only works in my dad's room, it works nonetheless. my laptop looks as sturdy as a nuclear suitcase. like if you throw it against the wall, the wall will crack and the com will continue functioning as tho nothing has happened. and the screen is so wide, i think i'm gonna spend all my time watching movies online. not too great for my education. i love my laptop very much. now if only i could find a nice picture of gisele bundchen to put as my desktop.

speaking of gisele bundchen, my sis and i went to victoria's secret that day. i tell you that place is heaven on earth. it has the prettiest underwear on this planet. anyone who knows me will know i detest shopping unless its for jeans or underwear. i swear i was in heaven. tho i dint buy anything other than a nice bag, and something else which i wont mention here, it was so nice to just look around, test the perfumes, look at makeup etc etc.

walked to old navy the other day, still privately bemoaning the fact that since its winter, they dont sell my polo tees anymore. did however, find 40 bucks worth of stuff to buy. interesting conversation with cashier follows.

cashier: would you like to get an old navy discount card?
me: er, i dont live in new york, so it would be quite useless, thanks anyway.
cashier: where are you from?
me: singapore
cashier: ohhhhh! NI HOW MA???
me:(laughing) HOW.
cashier:*says something else in chinese*
me: er actually, i dont really speak mandarin, i only know a little bit.

i got 6 pairs of earrings at forever21 for SIX DOLLARS. and a very nice bra from H&M for 13 bucks. the only thing that is not cheap here is shoes.

havent been out the last 2 days cos it was cold. but i really wanna see central park zoo and rockerfeller centre soon. and the cousins are coming tmr. so hopefully, life becomes even more entertaining.

thank you arvin for taking pictures of liu xiang. you're the best. take care and have fun in doha!!

hello world. am currently sitting in a hotel room in nyc stuffed full of room service pancakes and cappuccino. seriously you would think i would be able to eat 3 pancakes but all the food in US comes in such big portions that even a pig like me cant finish it without wanting to vomit.

landed on saturday morning. the customs ppl are very nice here. the immigration officer had extremely pretty eyes. actually i think they're nice to us cos my sis and i dont exactly look threatening. they asked us stupid things like what are you studying in school and do you know where your father works. HA!!

missed the manchester derby cos i was 10000km up in the air, but man u won 3-1, saha ronaldo rooney. YAY!!

first day was cold cold cold. and i was jet lagged. went to hotel. went out walking to check out where the OLD NAVY is. they dont sell my polo tees anymore dammit. now they sell winter stuff. which means i wont be able to buy jonny's polo tee. sorry jon.

went to a jap restaurant for dinner. i couldnt finish my food as usual. seriously, everything is so big you just dont feel like eating after a while. it gets tiring to chew. made the mistake of only wearing one sweater when i went for dinner. i was shivering and my teeth were chattering after 2 minutes outside. can you imagine? bloody freezing.

came home and just crashed. next day, which was yesterday, we went to woodbury common, which is this place in upstate new york. its a huge compound with all sorts of designer brand factory outlet shops. hence, prices are lower and sometimes they even have discounts on the lower prices. got a winter coat for 80 bucks. usual price- something like 250.

bought a coat, 3 sweaters, levi's jeans(25 US DOLLARS PPL!!!) lots of pretty underwear, a beanie, socks, a fossil watch (8 US DOLLARS FOR A FOSSIL WATCH!) and my shoppin total came to just under a hundred bucks. omg seriously its heaven. last time when my dad lived in the US (approx 10 yrs ago) the prices were even lower, but due to the influx of jap tourists, prices have gone up. ah well. you'd never get deals like this in sgp, so i'm happy.

gotta bathe now, then my sis and i are gonna try and find old navy on our own.ok mtv here is quite interesting. lots of funny reality shows. but the other channels sorta suck. lots of trashy tv.

so yesterday was the dreaded prom. went to buy my suitcase and eat tandoori chicken in the aft and took a nap til 5. got ready blah blah, left for fullerton at 7. camwhored for like 45 mins, had dinner(which was not bad) camwhored somemore, listened to the band (which had a cute drummer, who's mat's friend!! GAH!), sniggered at the prom king/queen contest, went to the toilet 20 or so times, camwhored more, cursed at the emcee. it ran over til midnight...when nav, shing, shaz and i figured out that there wasnt gonna be a dance floor, we made for attica. I SAW XUNNYYYYYYYYY!! yay, and finally met desmond...yippee.

made friends with the bouncer and the owner/manager, who for some reason gave us 3 free jugs of booze and his card. you know why it was free, cos it sucked!! i think it was tequila(tho im obviously no expert), which i dont really like. but he gave us 3 free jugs!! and he called us his girls. er right...and now if we dress up and go on wed/fri/sat, clifford says he'll def get us in....ya i bet if i go back tonight he wont rmb me. finally met karn as well..he's a sweetie pie. with rattan shoes. hurhur. but he's very nice. i like him. *stamp of approval*

somebody else likes him too. HA.

some guy asked nav if she was from bollywood. heehee. that was funny. ya so anyway, after awhile the party was packed and we danced for 2 solid hours. music sucked at first but became really good towards the end. all in all, a good party.

left around 3 to make it home in time for man u vs benfica. 3-1 to the reds. 3 great headers, 3 pts, group winners. vidic is manly.

my eyeshadow is being very stubborn, one of my nails is chipped and my hair smells of cigarettes. and i havent packed for the 3 weeks of freezing new york city winter. but its all good cos man u are in the second round of the champions league!!!!!!

ok obviously i'm not in the best of moods.

wanna know WHY? today i spent 2.5 hours waiting at the indian embassy, so i could talk to the woman at the counter for 5 minutes and give her my passport and visa application. i swear to GOD the system there is so effed up.

went to collect sand's erm...thing...from her friend. finished OC season 3 and prison break season 1.
was supposed to watch hard candy with sand and nav tonight but nav cancelled...and sand's out with jaaf...or was it anita or both...summat like that. so i shall indulge in a little ball-removal all by my lonesome tonight.

prom on wed. i dunno why i wasted 83 bucks. all i wanna do is go to the afterparty. 18 vs 83...i dunno why it was even a contest. plus the 200 odd i spent on my outfit. bah humbug!!

leaving for NYC in approx 100 hours babyyyyyyyyy.....tho i wish i could postpone it for a while. i've got stuff to take care of at home.

alrighty, my birthday will be over in 2 hours. its been a good one. had to go to school in the morning to get testimonial, which was actually pretty good. went to swensens with nav sam and sandz after that. my sis popped up with a cake which was nice. i got a nice present. thanks girlies. i promise to wear it.

did a little bit of shoe shopping and saw ETHEL! havent seen her in donkey years. was quite nice.

went for kenny rogers dinner where i saw my pregnant cousin AND navleen's bro. all in all, a good day. thanks to everyone who remembered and wished me. and thanks to my mom for the 300 bucks! kaching...

went out with p10 on saturday.everyone showed up cept belle and xunHYPHENai (hurhur). prom shopping which was so tiring. in the end it turned out to be dressing room day. 4 of us crammed into 1 zara fitting room and sat there for half an hour talking crap and taking photos. moved to the paragon metro dressing room when mich came and sat for another half an hour as jema picked out her dress. wonderful day.

sunday went prom shopping with mum and sis. bought some shiny top and pants from esprit and decided that i never wanted to shop for clothes EVER again.

monday met up with grace and sally to watch step up. ok i wanna jump channing tatum's bones. seriously, the guy is smoking hot if you just cover his face. i wanna dance like jenna dewan...and i wanna have a dance partner like tatum. every time i watch a dance movie i get really nostalgic about my ballet years and all i wanna do is run to the nearest dance studio and sign up for a class. i miss dancing sooooooo much la.bah!had dinner with them as well and xunny FINALLY showed up after i hadnt seen her for 309752948601595 days!!! haha i missed her so much.

ok its 1.18am on saturday the 25th of november. why am i up? cos i can't sleep. why can't i sleep? cos i only woke up at noon this afternoon, and therefore, am not tired.

what have i spent the last week doing?

1) watching A LOT of one tree hill online(seriously, i watched 20 eps in 2 days)

2) watching alias reruns

3) getting re-aquainted with what i think is the world's most under appreciated band.

4) not exercising

5) watching daVinci Code which SUCKED!

6) going out

7) sleeping

8) eating (tho less than usual)

9) moaning over man u losing

10) clearing my desk. i threw away all my maths PRAISE THE LORD i never have to see it again!!

number 6 was especially great. met sam and claud on tues to wander around arab street. went out tonight to officially celebrate end of A levels with the girls (nav and ez ended today). sand and muni couldnt come which was a major bummer seeing as how i havent seem them since...well...i cant even remember!! but anita, tas, sherli, ez, nav and sam were there so it was all good. the usual dinner of subway, plus a good dose of bitching. it did me so much good. drooling over nathan scott and one tree hill in general with tas and anita, talking about holiday plans, exchanging gossip, walking around the extremely crowded and disappointing vivocity(i did the same thing last friday wtf??) tho i did see some nice stuff at la senza.omg i love bra shopping, its therapeutic. GAP sucks by the way.

ok some asshole is revving his engine outside. its 130 am fucker, SHUDDUP!!

the sister's coming home in 21 or so hours.you know what that means? in 21 hours i will get my hands on my lurrrrrvely billabong bag and the much anticipated OC season3 dvds. gosh older sisters are SO useful sometimes.

ok usually around this time of the year i would do my yearly recap of the best movies, songs, books etc, but i really cant be bothered. i dint really read any nice new books, watch any great movies or discover any great new music this year(except maybe snow patrol). its been a boring, pathetic, depressing year if you ask me. the one saving grace...the one magical find of this year? youtube ppl...

youtube.

apart from hotmail and google, its quite possibly the best thing to ever appear on the internet.

i wanna marry one of the guys who invented youtube. apart from the fact that they're all filthy rich, they've saved me from the the all-consuming mind numbing boredom that usually envelopes me every year end after my exams end, when i have absolutely nothing to do.

ok it's 135, and i have nothing more to say, except that i think i might be watching step up tmr. channing tatummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy abs, bleagh face...but still....yummy abs. and biceps. i love biceps. ok i'll stop drooling now and go to bed.

i have to go to school on my birthday. nav and i were wondering whether we ACTUALLY have to wear uniforms.seeing as how we've graduated. i hope we dont cos if we do...well that would majorly suck.

george michael said it all with one word: FREEDOM.

come to think of it, so did mel gibson in braveheart but whatever.

'A's finished on friday afternoon. somehow i was happier when Os finished cos then i knew that i deserved the break cos i had worked quite hard. but somehow i feel i dun really deserve this break cos i could have studied harder for my exams but i dint. still, its no use crying over spilt milk. went to vivo with class on friday night. its crowded and noisy. and i dint really like it. but the esprit there is HUGE and i saw a pair of pants i liked. they're kinda pricey tho.

saturday i went to video ezy to rent one tree hill dvds and spent the rest of the day drooling over CMM. been sick so havent really moved away from the couch. started cleaning my desk tho. i've filled 3 garbage bags and i'm not completely done yet. i think 1 more bag should do it.

i've suddenly lost all desire to blog. i dunno why. so if i suddenly stop blogging after this, its not cos ive died or anything.

man u won last night. quite a nervy game. it ended 2-1. arsenal and liverpool drew, chutski won (darnit).

my sister is coming home in 6 days. i heart her cos she bought me a very nice billabong bag. ok i heart her anyway but i heart her MORE after i saw the bag and heard that she was bringing home OC season3. its time to start hitting the gym, these thighs wont go away just by me sitting on the couch!!

alright everyone here's a question. define radian...

nobody knows? well if you had taken phys A level paper 2 this year, that would be 1 mark gone for you. that's right, the fucking morons asked us to define radian. which basically sums up how phys went today. the data analysis was another godawful story which nobody was interested in, and somebody please tell me why there's only 1/230 of the original amt of uranium-235 left in somewhere-in-africa-i-cant-remember-the-name. GRR.

only half of my papers are over thats so unfair. i have FIVE papers in the next 48 hours. that's even MORE unfair.

man u won, liverpool were spineless against arsenal and chelsea totally ate watford, chewed them up and spat them out. four times.

i dun wanna write any more. im gonna drown myself in a fiscal policy.

this guy has a gorgeous voice. and he's only 21. too bad he's ugly. he looks like james blunt. *shudder*...well you cant be perfect.

and i know that it's a wonderful world
but i cant feel it right now,
i thought i was doing well
but i just want to cry now,

how incredibly apt for my life right now. maths paper 2 yesterday was better than paper1 thankfully. they asked a question on LOG!!! that's right, the sec3 amaths topic. bloody hell i was so stunned when i saw it la. KNN the past 5 years got NO LOG AT ALL then suddenly this dumbass question comes out.

stats were ok...but everytime i think my stats are ok, i will kena all wrong. so i dunno....shit phys better be a bloody walk in the park.

ok HOW COOL is this scissor sisters song. the first time i heard it i hated it, but it totally grew on me. its the kind of thing you listen to on sunday morning, jumping around your room in your underwear or pajamas, with your hair sticking out in every possible direction and your brain barely awake.wat a fun song.

and the new fergie song too. fergalicious.no seriously that's the title.haha fun song. every girl from a girls school will tell you that they have lesbian tendencies that can be awoken by HOT girls.its not that we're not straight...its just that we spent our entire lives surrounded by girls, so we learn to appreciate a hot woman..for example

1.nelly furtado
2.fergie
3.gisele bundchen
4.adriana lima
5.nicole scherzinger

haha make no mistake...i'm straight...but damn those 5 are pretty darn hot. ok number 5 not so much but she's got a hot bod and she can dance.

speaking of dance, i cant wait til next friday when i'll finally be able to watch step up.

and thank you arvin for calling me the night before maths and singing to me. you cheer me up bitch. even if you cant sing to save your life.

it's 2am and i cant sleep

why? 5 reasons

1)chelsea lost
2)arsenal lost
3)i took a nap in the afternoon
4)i'm worried about my A levels
5)i'm feeling very warm

anyway, man u demolished portsmouth 3-0. fantastic goal from ronnie the hottie.arsenal lost a few hours ago. 1-0 to west ham, who seem to have turned the corner after EIGHT STRAIGHT LOSSES. 89th minute goal. wenger and the west ham manager started fighting and had to be seperated. classic.

then, chelsea lost 2-1. 3 beautiful goals. terry got red card. this chelsea defender called boulahrouz got subbed on and then SUBBED OFF cos robbie keane was totally running circles around him. this is the guy that SILENCED ronaldinho in midweek champs league and ROBBIE KEANE makes him fall flat on his ass.another classic moment.

rawr i wanna watch step up. already made a date with jem to watch it. and sam to watch casino royale. how exciting.

ok im gonna try to sleep now. night all.

np: rihanna - if it's lovin that you want

why am i finding it so hard to dl the new cassie song. the vid is all over mtv but i cant find it anywhere on my music download software thingy(ok yes techno illiterate that's what i am).

man u totally whipped bolton last weekend. 3 spectacular goals from rooney and 1 easy one from ronnie the hottie. brilliant. then they had to screw up by losing to copenhagen. alkshfskdjhagekjrhyjg!

oh man i cant believe i only have one tuition lesson left with my tutor. after 4.5 years. at first when i started tuition i was so uncomfortable with him and lazy and hated going. but then, when i actually started doing my work it started being the cherry on top of a great week(yeah i had ALOT of those back in cedar especially in sec4 which will forever remain the best year of my life). for the past 2 years it has been THE highlight of my week(which was usually crappy in TJ). going there, seeing my tutor and his kids, talking football, talking politics, talking crap, talking about my sister(haha) and occasionally(if we could manage it), getting some work done.watching his kids grow up. still remember when i first saw his second son and carried him, he was just a tiny red thing and now he's a bouncing 2 year old. and his first son, who was 2 when i met him, is starting PRIMARY SCHOOL next year. haha who am i gonna argue with about man u from now on??strange. and i have no idea how to say bye to him next week. usually i just wave over my shoulder and run to the elevator so that i can make it home ASAP and watch football crazy. but next week is the last time. aiyoh i'm sad.

i REALLY wanna watch this new movie called 'step up'. it's got channing tatum in it, that guy from she's the man who had the hottest bod we all had ever seen(but NOT the best face...in fact his face is pretty darn weird looking). the dancing is so frigging fantastic in this show and WHO KNEW from looking at this tatum guy that he could dance like THAT???he's reaaaaaaaaaaally good.

A levels has finally begun. gp paper one was ok i guess (tho at tuition my tutor gave me a whole SHITLOAD of other examples i could have used......thanks for making me feel so much better mr lim!!poo!)

paper 2 sucked donkey balls. i swear it was one heaping stinking pile of shit. especially that damn AQ. personally i dun think the author made any sense at all. later i got a call from my sister who i presume, had already talking to her gp teacher friends.

gaya: your passage was about authority is it?
kiki: huh i thot it was abt freedom.

one word ppl: bugger.

later i turned around to talk to weldon and he was moaning abt his AQ. i dun think i've ever heard so many "kanina" in one convo before. i was thinking to myself before the paper : oh no man u lost this morning, its a bad omen. then later cheryl told me she had a dream abt a girl she hates and she thought it was a bad omen too. and THEN, i was talking to claudia and she was saying how she choked on a fishbone the night before and she took THAT as a bad omen. and we all couldnt sleep. HAHAHA i'm sensing a connection here.

have i mentioned how much prison break totally rocks my socks?? apart from the fact that i wanna be wentworth miller's shirt(mariah was so effing lucky), its just such a coolio potato show. such an engaging storyline.and the cast is nothing much to look at but you love em anyway...except maybe the pervert. am i the only one that thinks that for a guy who's about to die in 2 weeks, lincoln burrows is amazingly nice and calm and kind?

thursdays are the highlight of my week i swear. tuition, then football crazy, then laguna, then prison break. aiyoh it doesnt get much better than that.

oh yippee i finally downloaded the song.

hmm, just finished my daily dose of CNN. the reason i watch CNN in the afternoon instead of BBC for my daily news fix? 2 words. max foster. ok he's not THAT cute, but i love brit accents. besides, he's MUCH cuter than the old geezer that's the BBC anchor. and i like his partner monita rajpal.

anw, here's another example of just how much of a moron george w bush is. he says internetS instead of internet. seriously. here's a quote from the man himself: "I hear on the internets that we're going to have a draft" !!!! this is the most powerful man in the world for crying out loud. oh and he calls google, "THE google". oh mama does the stupidity never stop flowing from this man? for your reading pleasure, here are the top ten stupid bush quotes.

http://politicalhumor.about.com/cs/georgewbush/a/top10bushisms.htm

no wonder the planet is going to the dogs.

right, now that we've all stopped laughing, let's examine the difference between 1st and 3rd world countries. i know this may seem stupid but bear with me. the president of iraq...considering he's a PRESIDENT of a COUNTRY, one would think that his press conferences would take place in some part of his residence or in a clean, probably airconditioned office somewhere rite? that's the images we're all used to when we see bush, or blair or lee hsien loong talking to the press. well at least you wouldnt expect houseflies. rite? WRONG! the Iraqi president was giving a press conference recently and this housefly just kept buzzing around him and landing on his cheek and head and ear and he kept swatting it away. can ANYONE imagine lee kuan yew swatting a fly? he'd kill the maintainence guy of the building he's in before swatting the fly probably. i'm sorry, i just found this whole thing pretty odd and funny. a president swatting a fly on international tv.

today in the newspaper i read an article about one of Australia's top Muslim clerics, comparing women who don't wear veils to uncovered meat, basically implying that muslim women who don't veil are inviting rape.yeah i'll pause a minute to let you all regain conciousness. occasionally somebody in this world says something so stupid that you just stop short. this is one of them. is he forgetting the number of women in Muslim countries who DO wear the veil that are raped(by their own husbands sometimes), killed, forced into child marriages, subjected to honour crimes or generally mistreated every single day? i hate men. they say the dumbest shit sometimes.

in other not so important news, madonna has adopted a child from Malawi. somehow CNN and BBC thinks this is big news just cos some NGOs and child welfare organisations in Malawi are protesting that Madonna cut corners during the adoption process. CMON!! the child will be leading an infinitely better life in london with madonna than in an orpahange in Malawi! just let it be!! and to make things worse, it's headline news everywhere!! when CNN aired the segment i decided it was time to switch over to BBC in the hopes of seeing something a bit more important. lo and behold, the same Madonna crap was being played on BBC. it was then that i decided to turn off the tv. what a waste of airtime.

there are earthquakes in australia and snowstorms in colorado(where daddy dearest is!!). can mother nature GET any freakier?? not likely.

MAN UNITED 2 LIVERPOOL 0

united fans have this chant that goes : paul scholes he scores goal. well that was what i was chanting after he scored and i was screaming and jumping around my living room with my prata in 1 hand. thank God my mum wasnt home. yesterday was paul scholes' 500th game for united. what a legend.yep then rio ferdinand's gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous goal. i knew he was talented but WOW! and he's kinda hot too. aga and i were slightly smitten when he celebrated

previously only one person has agreed with me that rio is not the ugly fart that everyone thinks he his and that he's actually quite hot, and that's my sis. and now i have aga. i remember when england lost to portugal at the world cup and rio started crying. aiyoh my heart broke.

sigh. england. what to say about them. the defence is so good, but because the attack is toothless, the whole team get slammed.rio my hero.he's like making it a habit to score fab goals against liverpool. yay.

anyway, back to man u liverpool. feels good to beat our biggest(traditional) rivals.was singing along when the crowd was singing 'take me home united road'. what i wouldnt give to just go there once and experience a home game. last night's game was pretty comfortable for united in the end. was a bit baffled by how easily pool rolled over. man u not even really playing their best. passing was a bit loose again. but nvm, 2 great goals. 0 conceded, 3 pts, back at the top. =D

arsenal whacked reading 4-0. holy cow.
real beat barca 2-0 *victory dance*
valencia won. david villa AGAIN!

now if only chelski would start losing DAMMIT!

something nick said at farewell assembly really struck a chord with me. about how its not the big college occasions but the little things in class which is what's gonna stick with us after we leave. i mean of course i'll remember the big stuff but what i'll cherish more is the little stupid stuff with 11. like how aga would do something silly and we'd all go "don't tell anyone?" and she'd nod and we'd all laugh. and how the 2 of us would be talking about man u and swooning over hot guys while xinyi would laugh at us. or how bob and i would shake our head and mutter under under our breath when *certain ppl* asked dumb stuff in class.how we love to suan sean and call him arrogant.how we love to call jonny fatty even tho we love him. how we skip lectures/stone in lectures/gossip in lectures. sit at the back in tutorials and chat. whack each others' knees to get the reflex kick.try to pull our arvin's leg hair with him shouting "STOP PULLING IT! THEY TOOK 18 YEARS TO GROW!!", me pinching arvin, him teaching me how to kill ppl(seriously he really did). playing 'who would you do'.so many more. i love this class...they made my life in TJ infinitely better.

this song is so melancholic. but like, in a good way.amy lee has a pretty nice voice now that i think abt it.

happy diwali/deepavali everyone. i've got so much good food at home it's almost a sin. and there are good movies on today as well...gosh if only As werent in 2 weeks this would be the best weekend ever.

man u demolished copenhagen even without full strength squad. bravo.

found a wonderful george best video on youtube. for those who don't know. george best was a man united and northern ireland LEGEND. even tho the video quality of some of his games is pretty bad, you can still see he's an amazing player. i think his was northern ireland's biggest funeral EVER.

watch it ppl. and his son is kinda hot eh?

man u liverpool tmr. c'mon red devils. and for heaven's sake rooney bang one in please!

by the way, everyone PLEASE watch this video. it will have you in stitches. found it on ezzah's blog and decided to put it here as well just cos everyone deserves to see it.

if my right foot could talk, here's what it would say:

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

PAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

i have no idea what i did to it. i jumped off the assembly podium in school this morning and when i landed i felt/heard this little pop or crack i'm not too sure. at first it was just a little pain. and now, it's bloomed into a full blown I-THINK-I-BROKE-MY-FOOT kinda pain. of course it doesnt help that i was walking around in suntec after school today.omg sometimes i forget to breathe cos of the pain and realise later that i'm holding my breath. and as i hobbled home from the bus stop ppl were giving me these weird, concerned looks (especially the women).been trying to avoid my mum cos she'll get worried. so i stole the ice pack from the freezer and am now holed up in my room.with a wrapped up, swollen foot. holy shit la i have maths tmr how to go??

it was the official last day of school today so everyone was taking pictures all day long. my class, being lucky had phys lecture and free period (essentially 2 free periods) so we were just running around the school taking lame pics.i expected to cry at farewell assembly considering i cried at Mrs Lim's farewell last year and sobbed like a little kid at my cedar graduation.i cried so much i couldnt even get thru the school song in cedar :(. but the assemble wasnt sad at all...i doubt that there were any tears at all by anybody actually. after school we went to suntec to eat kenny roger's cos we've all been craving macaroni and cheese for days and days. had a lot of fun taking pics and playing word games. apart from the throbbing foot of course.

man u tonight. hopefully the team is full strength. i hope we win i hope we win i hope we win!! cmon red devils make me proud. and can wayne rooney just score and put this loss-of-form nonsense behind him.

np: john mayer - waiting on the world to change

love this song.love this guy.

yesterday was bob's bday so happy bday bob. hope u had fun 'playing' with wentworth. yesterday night was man u vs wigan.rio was captain! first half man u played 433 which was not effective. super goal from baines the wigan leftback...hope he displaces ashley cole from england, but that's just me. he was super against germany for england U21s.another super goal in that game as well.

towards end of first half man u improved a lot. then i think a combination of a change of tactic to 442, intro of ryan THE MAN giggs and fergie's half time hairdryer proved highly effective. man u were rampant. possession at the end was 62-38 i think. fabulous goals .the one from vidic.he had to arch backwards to reach the ball and still it was such a power header.and when he celebrated. aiyohhhhh..so cute. aga was at family dinner so i was providing sms commentary and it went something like this.

VIDIC VIDIC VIDIC GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha ya...we both went mad.yup rooney's improving, giggs is awesome as always. ole and saha still firing. the only worry is carrick. hmm...doesnt seem to be doing as well as we all hoped. neville and ronaldo out but shld be back for copenhagen or liverpool i hope. imagine the line up if you will:

Van der Sar

Neville Ferdinand Vidic Heinze/Evra

Ronaldo Scholes Carrick/Smith Giggs

Rooney

Saha

super subs: brown, ole, fletcher, park, oshea

it's so beautiful it almost brings a tear to my eye.chelsea (undeservedly in my opinion) won. they are not playing their best and needed an own goal. both goalies injured during the match.aiyoh both look damn painful.both had to go hospital. john terry was stand in goalie. they showed him changing shirts. aiyoh his abs!!!!!!!!!!! haha omg i sound horny. every other guy is hot.sorry la got no boy in tj...must look to the pitches in england la!!

gareth barry of aston villa scored an amazing goal...and his cheekbones are as gorgeous as ever.haha not much else happening in my life. man u makes me so happy. sigh.

ok time for lunch. later suckers!

today is the best day. you know why? cos it's SCOTT PARKER'S BIRTHDAY!!! me and aga actually wanted to have a private party and share a piece of cake but we figured we would look too psycho if we actually did it. but we wished each other happy birthday anyway. justin wished us too...and even peixun(albeit cluelessly) shook our hands. funny.

hmm england lost. very good. we all predicted it. poor robinson. he's really being unfairly blamed. if not for him they would have lost by more.germany won. my 3 favourite germans scored. i think either germany, portugal or italy will ein euro...tho as usual i'm hoping spain win...but even when they have a good team they dun make it. yeah i dun get it either.

finally tried the polar cafe crab puff today when i went to the airport to study.its not bad la...managed to accomplish some chem. 3 VJ tutors were next to us marking promo scripts. quite funny to hear them commenting on handwriting and such. the bio teacher gave up in the end and started reading her storybook.

i think SBS should widen the leg space on buses. i'm seriously getting DVT la...so cramped. having terrible muscle aches now cos i was in such a weird position. *pout*

was looking forward to my mum trying out her 'sotong in chili crab sauce' recipe...came home to discover that she hadnt cooked cos she went to see ' the departed' WHICH BY THE WAY IS M18!!! KNN! where's my sister and her IC when i need it. ya was majorly disappointed abt the food thing, especially since all i got in return was cheapo cold storage sushi and all thru dinner i was thinking about how shiying was enjoying nicer sushi at sakae.

today was our last chem lect ever. there were like 100 ppl max in the lt. so cheryl decided to spectacularly end her chem career by switching seats every 5 minutes. she would move diagonally downwards until finally, she ended up next to grace. and here's the real kicker. arvin had a roll of toilet paper in his bag and he tore off three long strips to make it look like A4 paper on her table. so it was a requirement that she take those 3 strips of toilet roll, her ipod and phone with her every time she moved. and she did it. i was crying silently with laughter. and ppl were staring at her with their mouths open. and then finally, the crowning moment.i had to climb over the row infront of me and march down to join cheryl and grace, with the roll of toilet paper in my hand(THANKS ALOT ARVIN!!! :S) it was so damn funny la.and the lecturer dint notice a thing. i think grace's class thinks we're all psychos. oh well..you only live once.

the mystery of the cheapo paper used by the econs dept has been solved by the way.

AH i'm addicted to coffee. i swear it's true. to be more specific, nescafe ice coffee original flavour.been doing lotsa maths and phys and chem lately. yay i managed to get thru nov04 chem paper 2 without wanting to kill myself. improvement i say! i dint even have much to ask miss tay during consultation.tadah!! clapclapclap.

the econs dept has gone environmentally friendly and has started giving us notes on recycled paper. or maybe they're just cheapo i don't know. i'll give them the benefit of the doubt eh?

spain vs argentina friendly tonight. OMGGGGGGGGGGG what channel is it on i'm dying to watch. even xiao j thinks villa is cute la! instead i'll probably watch england vs croatia. you know, after EVERY insipid england performance i tell myself that i'll never watch england again. but i always end up watching cos there's this hope that they'll start playing better. tonight i am watching for one reason only. scott parker is starting as a defensive midfielder. oh mama that man is so hot. i really hope i dont fall asleep after half an hour again. i wanna watch portugal and germany games oso, but they're all delayed telecasts and i have to go to school tmr(why am i going? nothing happens!!)

it's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

wah pretty song prettier lyrics but really weird, ugly lead singer whose voice doesnt match his looks. i was expecting like chad kroeger or scott stapp...yeah i was disappointed.

4 more days of school only. omg my life in this education system is coming to an end. that day i was thinking about how my passport is expiring at the end of this year. when i got it i was 8, and i was thinking to myself "WAH it'll expire in 10 years! SO LONG!" and here i am, 18 years old. eek where did all that time go. i cant wrap my head around the fact that after A levels, I'll never put on a school uniform again. never have morning bitching sessions again. never snicker and gossip at the back of class with my classmates again. and a whole load of other things i've taken for granted. AHH! HOWWWWWWWWWWW! it's a bit frightening considering this is the only constant i've ever known.

friday night was mad! i tell you the lengths my friends and i go to for each other. went to meet jema and mich at harbourfront at 5 plus to mug for a while before going to grace's house. as you might have guessed, not much mugging was done. i memorised a few organic rxns...yeah that was about it. sally was LATE!! but arrive she did and we went to the toilet to change. cedar blouse, board shorts, sunglasses, heels and the weirdest tie i could possibly find. those were the requirements. i swear to GOD i looked like i had escaped from IMH!! so we walked thru harbourfront shopping centre, braving the stares from curious onlookers, laden with the saxophone, guitar, lanterns and various schoolbags. caught a bus and freaked out along the way about whether we were lost or not. when we finally got off at grace's bus stop we put everything down to check for our phones and wallets which were lost in a mass of clothes and books inside our bags. unfortunately for us, there was a BIG group of teenagers at the bus stop. they were staring. hard. especially when mich blew on the sax and while we were putting on our hats. the performance was hilarious. we kept laughing and halfway thru happy bday had to stop for mich. oh and did i mention the out of tune guitar with only 4 strings (2 broke cos we dropped the damn thing). so it was funny. and now there's a video of it floating around in grace's camera that better not see the light of day. took many many pictures. i would upload them here, but everytime i try to install the camera software my com crashes. so i've given up. if you're lucky i'll show them to you personally.haha. and don't laugh at me.

saturday night the haze was so friggin thick. psi 150!!! my god. i could smell the burnt smell in the air. england game at midnight. so damn boring that i went to sleep after half an hour. final score. 0-0. thank god i dint stay up la. i would have hung myself. czech thrashed san marino 7-0! seven!! SEVEN!!!!! wah! germany 2-0 very nice goals shweinsteiger you are the MAN! portugal 3-0 ronaldo 2 goals =D what else. oh wales lost 5-1 but the goals in that game damn nice. scotland beat france!!! darren fletcher!! he dint score and i dont particularly like him but whatever! SCOTLAND BEAT FRANCE!!!!!!! yay.

sunday. hmmm...watched tv from 6-11 la just kill me. robbie williams concert from 9-11...i swear that man is the BEST performer. his 'let me entertain you' that night was the best i've EVER seen. and angels. it was so good it almost made me cry. i think it almost made HIM cry too!

today morning had a good chat with aga while accomplishing some maths. gp mock was damn difficult and damn boring. it was last year's paper. the AQ was so damn hard la i'm surprised my sis got as high as an A2. i just kept stoning la. i think every time aga looked at me i was stoning la. right aga? haha.urgh. i hate AQs...every time i think i did horribly i pass and every time i think i did ok i'll fail. and i usually think i did ok. yeah..

in other small, not so important news. north korea has tested a nulear missile and singapore as described this action as 'rash'. does anybody who reads this care? yeah me neither. ok no i'm kidding. its big news and i care. i think kim jong il is a fool. how about giving your ppl some food instead of spending money on hair implants and nuclear bombs. and frankly i think singapore could have come up with a better reply than 'rash'. seriously man. c'mon! RASH?! how abt 'unpardonabl, 'despicable', unacceptable'...'rash', like no kick like that. ok whatever i'm rambling.

whoever's not in tj but wants to come to the prom after party at attica: dec 6, 11pm-3am 18bucks...tell me.

np: blur - tender.

ahh.been a pretty good few days in terms of food. my mom made the best pork rib soup EVER a few days ago. wah i couldnt stop drinking it la. yummy. it was so damn perfect. not as perfect as scott parker, but close.then yesterday night's mashed potatoes that my mum made. with little bacon bits and mayonnaise.mmm...and the crowning glory. today.

morning: chocolate donut
break: ban mian from school with lotsa chili padi. woots!
lunch: mrs ho's pizza hut treat.
dinner: steamboat at grace's house cos its her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST!

lunch was hilarious la. when the messagecame that the pizzas had arrived, there was a mad rush(ok mostly the boys) to the canteen. it was fun sitting around with my class gorging. Mrs Ho found out abt 'current' and was so mean la. she actually asked darren to go over and call her and ask her whether she liked 'someone.' so embarassing. the poor girl refused to come over. and the ENTIRE class, was HOWLING with laughter.we had talentime after that, where mrs ho asked ppl to go do different things. i swear to God, maria and weldon's pole dance was the most repulsive thing i have EVER seen in my life. my eyes were just huge in disgust. my having to salsa with sean paled in comparison.jonny's feiyuching impersonation was really funny.

went home with joanne and mich. had a good gossiping session en route to town. and now i cant wait to go to grace's house tonight.

england plays tmr!! commentry with aga starts at 1130...or is it 1150...aiyah dunno la, sometime around there la.

thx to arvin for uploading the pic. i look damn weird in it, but its a nice candid shot. it ALMOST makes up for him calling me fat today. YOU JUST WAIT BITCH! i'm gonna go on a cheryl diet and it'll be ALL YOUR FAULT! HA!

=)

2006-10-04T04:17:00.000-07:00

np: shayne ward - no promises

eh i like this song. its so romantic. and the guy is cute in an unconventional way. ya'll should watch the vid. i like guys who can dance like how this guy does.

ah yesterday afternoon was so much fun. school was really really boring. it was so bad that i fell asleep in phys lecture. now you probably know that i dont really fall asleep in classes. if i'm bored or tired i'll start stoning, but i don't actually nod off...so now you can tell how bad school was yesterday. sean bob me and aga all sitting in one row fell asleep. as we were trying to prevent ourselves from nodding off, aga and i were imagining the entire spanish team in suits. hahaha it was FUN. and then of course the convo switched to scott parker. every time we mention his name we go into this uncontrollable fit of grinning, laughing and blushing(or rather turning red from our laughing) all at once. and when the 2 of us split up for different lessons like chem or lit our parting line is now "scott parker go with you" haha ya we're mad whatever.

went to gelare with arvin aga and bob after school. thank u for paying for the cab fyt!! at first i was bummed that only four ppl agreed to go cos i thot it was supposed to be a class outing. but when i got there i realised it was gonna be so much fun. we had so much to talk about we stayed for like 2/2.5 hours. confessions, expositions, jokes, everything. and of course, the occasional exclamation of scott parker!! from me and aga, which would send us into a fit of giggles while bob and tang looked on in amazement/exasperation. i put my foot in my mouth MAJORLY at one point. and the others laughed so hard they couldnt explain what was so funny in what i said! -_____-. ha anyway sorry aga! i seriously had like no clue!! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NOBODY TELLS ME ANYTHING DAMMIT!! lol. but it was all good.it was just what i needed to release a lot of pent up stress and anxiety. just to talk and laugh for a few hours. over the biggest darn waffle i'll ever see or eat.

the good mood carried over to this morning, even though i was pretty tired from going to sleep late. did some chem and phys during chem lect. had a little break before next period so went with bob to the canteen to get coffee. saw aga sitting at a table listening to her mp3. here's what followed.

bob(from about 5 meters away): aga!!
-aga was oblivious. dint even hear us-
bob: AGA!!!
-still no answer-
me: try yelling scott parker. she sure will turn around and look.
bob: SCOTT PARKER!!
-aga immediately looked up and that was when bob and i collapsed with laughter-
me: i knew it would work!

hur hur. pretty darn funny. when for chem tut where me bob tang, KS and small j were talking about how much we love bsb. oh man they are the best boyband EVER!xin yi theorised that actually almost everyone likes them but are just too pai seh to admit it.i agree. then of course tang had to open his mouth and completely BUTCHER i want it that way. stupid boy.

ya so that was school the past 2 days. zhongshan burned a CD of our concerts last yr and this yr. he asked the com to split cost with him. i dint reply and have been avoiding him ever since. no seriously. i actually grabbed arvin and ran when i saw him before chem remedial. i'm mean i know. oh well...was listening to the cd just now. wow. lots of memories. i sort of miss singing. and its funny how when you remember a song, you remember it for life. i found myself humming along perfectly to songs where i havent seen the score or heard it in a year. the brain works in wonderous ways. ok its time to bathe and conquer some chem. toodles.

2006-10-02T00:40:00.000-07:00

np: diddy ft nicole - come to me

have i said how much i love this song? yes i have. but i'll say it again. i LOVE this song.

whee man u beat newcastle. awesome performance from the devils, especially vidic and ronaldo. 2 goals, none conceded, 3 points, back at the top of the table. all is right in EPL world. and of course...SCOTT PARKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG this guy is one hot sexy hunk of MAN!! haha i think almost every message aga and i sent to each other during the match last night had some variation of "WAH SCOTT PARKER IS SO HOT!! I LOVE HIM!!" his cheekbones...and freckles. so darn cute la. new eye candy. and he's in the england squad. yay. haha i realise aga and i have like, identical taste in footballers. very fun talking about them with her. haha. like for example today morning before going to talk to her in the canteen i did 4 complex numbers questions. while sitting with her, i did half. that's how much we ramble on. but i dont care, its too fun.and talking abt the spanish squad. haha.ok before i drool on my keyboard i shall move on and show u a pic(or 4) of scott parker. if ya'll dun think he's hot then your eyes got big problem.

newcastle captain.
back in the day when he was at chelski. 3rd from the left. i love guys who wear watches like these.is it just me or does john terry have chicken legs.
back when he signed for chelski.
last time when he played for england. soon to be capped again. just LOOK at those cheekbones ppl! they're so high they're almost off his head!! gorgeous.

anyway....school was boring today. forrest gump said, 'life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get!" well boys are like that too. was talking to bob in chem and phys and expounding that a lot of guys are never what they seem to be, no matter how nice you think they are. like my maths&phys tutor mr lim says, "all singaporean guys below the age of 30 are stupid!" at the time i just laughed. now i'm beginning to think he's right. this is why i'll never regret my decision to not date while in JC...not that any guy likes me oso, but that's besides the point. who wants to be liked by tj boys anyway?

got a shit load of chem to do. PCD new song not bad ah? i don't need a man. amen to that.

2006-09-30T22:02:00.000-07:00

np: p diddy ft nicole scherzinger - come to me

wah this song kicks ass. video's a bit funny tho. diddy's not the best dancer. at one point he looks like he's doing mass dance. lol. nicole hot as always. buttons!! haha ok random exclamation there.

chelsea drew villa( i love gareth barry, everybody check out his cheekbones!!) :))))))))) pool lost :( arsenal won -______- man u better beat newcastle tonight. scott parker!! yay aga's and my newest eye candy.

raar...i've decided it's time to support the underdog and cheer for valencia. haha...ok actually i'm not too bothered abt spanish league anymore, but valencia are really something. look at the their wingers la...spain's 2 best wingers in one team. vicente and joaquin. and villa and morientes up top. how to go wrong? and they got a beautiful stadium with a pretty name. estadio mestalla (mess-tah-ya)..coolio potato.

so i was downloading the snow patrol album and there's this awesome song on it. 'set the fire to the third bar', which is a collabo with a woman named martha wainwright...i had a hunch she was related to rufus wainwright, this amazing singer who sang 'cigarettes and chocolate milk'. turns out she's his sister. everyone should check him out. he's gay, used to be a hardcore druggie(once took so much that he went blind) and was raped in london's hyde park. by a man. sad life i say. but he's oh-so-hot. i keep reminding myself he's gay. which kinda sucks cos i discovered that nav's and my LAST eye-candy in tj carries a handkerchief to school. all together now: AIYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah that was pretty much my reaction when i first saw the hanky. cheryl has something against guys who wear pink and drink 'strawberries and cream' from starbucks. i have a thing against hankies. but it's not a "oh-my-God-how-old-fashioned-uncle-type-are-you?" reaction. its like a "ee-bad-hygiene" reaction. i mean think about it. they blow their nose, wipe their sweat and wipe their wet hands all on the same hanky and then let it fester in their pockets for the whole day....not too nice. and ok yes, it IS a bit uncle-ish.

2 more weeks of school. 1 month to A levels. 6 weeks til this is all over!! *happydance*

benefica 0 man u 1. when i heard this,it was probably one of the approximately 10 times i've smiled in the past 3 days. anyone who knows me well enough will know that that's very little. i feel like i'm being choked to death by my own life. does that make sense? today i discovered snow patrol have been around for 12 years. and here i was listening to crappy music during that entire time. i'm floundering and spinning out of control and have no idea what to do with myself. and to answer my own question. i make no sense even to myself. i know i'm not usually like this. this might alarm a few people. but i just needed to say this. i'll be fine tmr. i hope.

i really want this all to end.

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
